Oral Pathology

What we diagnose and treat - precancerous conditions, benign tumors, jaw cysts, salivary gland disorders

What we diagnose and treat:

  • Precancerous conditions - leukoplakia (white patches), erythroplakia (red patches), lichen planus, submucosal fibrosis.
  • Benign tumors - fibromas, papillomas, lipomas, osteomas.
  • Jaw cysts - radicular cysts, keratocysts, residual cysts.
  • Diseases of the salivary glands - mucocele, sialolithiasis (salivary stones), sialadenitis (inflammation), tumors of the salivary glands (pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin tumor).
  • Infectious lesions—oral candidiasis, herpetic lesions.

Histological examination—a mandatorystep:

Any excised tissue—whether it is a small biopsy from the gingiva, an entire cyst, a tumor, or a mucosal lesion—is sent for histological examination to an accreditedpathology laboratory.

  • Why it is important: Microscopic analysis confirms the nature of the lesion—benign, precancerous, or malignant. This is the ONLY reliable way to make an accurate diagnosis and plan subsequent treatment.
  • What the patient receives: Within 7–14 days, a written histological analysis is prepared, which is discussed with the patient, and the next steps are determined—regular follow-up, additional surgery, or referral to an oncologist.

In complex cases that exceed the scope of outpatient surgery, our patients are referred to the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery (MFS) at St. Anna University Hospital, Sofia

The clinic is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including oral surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, anesthesiologists, and oncologists, among whom is Dr. Yulia Kyuchukova (a specialist with extensive experience in hospital surgical practice).

Frequently asked questions

When is a mouth sore dangerous?

Any sore, ulcer, or white/red spot that does not heal within 2 weeks requires a mandatory examination by a dentist or oral surgeon. This is the basic rule for preventing oral cancer.

What are the symptoms of oral cancer?

Symptoms may include:

A persistent sore or lump that does not heal.

Unexplained pain or numbness in the oral cavity.

Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or moving the tongue.

Appearance of white (leukoplakia) or red (erythroplakia) patches on the mucous membrane.

It can also be completely asymptomatic.

What are the main risk factors for oral diseases?

The main factors include:

Smoking and alcohol consumption.

Poor oral hygiene.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

An unbalanced diet leading to vitamin deficiencies (especially B vitamins, iron, and zinc).

Injuries from broken teeth or poorly fitted dentures.

What does treatment involve?

Treatment depends entirely on the diagnosis. It may include topical medications, and in some cases—surgical removal of the lesion and submission of the tissue for histological examination.
