The total number of biopsies was 35, and the correlation between the clinical and histological diagnoses was 65.71% (23), in particular for inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia and leukoplasia. CONCLUSIONS: The main variation of normality was the Fordyce beads while the inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia was the main pathology diagnosed.
