OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the relative frequency of @entity89 in Kuwait. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Biopsy records and microscopic sections of all jaw biopsies seen in the Department of Histopathology at Amiri Hospital, Kuwait, during the period January 2004 to December 2009 were reviewed. The biopsies were divided into three major groups: developmental/inflammatory/reactive lesions (group 1), @entity5409 (group 2), and @entity5 and @entity5 -like lesions (group 3). Groups 2 and 3 were subdivided into odontogenic and nonodontogenic. RESULTS: Three hundred and eighty-five cases were reviewed. Of the 385 cases, 115 (29.9%) were in group 1, 178 (46.2%) in group 2, and 92 (23.9%) in group 3. Overall, @entity9530 (n = 95; 24.7%) were the most common biopsied @entity89 , followed by chronic @entity1546 (n = 59; 15.3%), dentigerous cysts (n = 51; 13.2%), and @entity5 (n = 30; 7.8%). In group 1, chronic @entity1546 was the most frequent lesion (n = 59; 51.3%). In group 2, odontogenic cysts (n = 166; 93.3%) were more frequent than nonodontogenic cysts (n = 12; 6.7%), and @entity9530 (n = 95; 53.4%) were the most frequent lesions in this group. @entity5 (n = 61; 66.3%) were more frequent than nonodontogenic @entity5 (n = 31; 33.7%) in group 3. @entity5 (n = 30; 32.6%) were the most frequent type of lesion in this group, followed by @entity1567 (n = 17; 18.5%). Only 3 malignant lesions were found in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Cystic and inflammatory lesions of the jaw are more common than @entity5 and @entity5 -like lesions of the jaw in Kuwait. The majority of inflammatory lesions that occurred in the jaw were related to periapical @entity32 . Most cystic and @entity89 were odontogenic in origin. @entity146 were relatively more common than nonaggressive ones. @entity14318 were relatively rare.
