The most accurate histopathologic interpretation of an oral biopsy specimen is often dependent on a variety of factors that may influence the pathologist's analysis of the disease process. Clinical data are often as important as proper sampling or appropriate handling of the biopsy specimen. The oral and maxillofacial pathology laboratory should be considered a useful resource for the diagnosis of oral lesions, particularly those which seem to be more challenging.
