Diagnosing oral and maxillofacial lesions is a multi-step, multidisciplinary process. If a clinical diagnosis is achievable, then a histopathological diagnosis is indicated to support and confirm the diagnosis. Histopathological examination of tissue biopsies is therefore an essential part of the diagnosis and/or treatment plan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the agreement between the clinical and histopathological diagnoses of oral and maxillofacial lesions and the patient, lesion, and healthcare provider factors that may affect this agreement.
