Abstract
The results of this study suggest that the clinical impression, although highly accurate for common benign conditions, is not an acceptable alternative to definitive biopsy findings in other cases, particularly in cases of premalignancy or malignancy. In addition, patients with identified independent risk factors (age, gender, and radiation therapy) should receive timely biopsy examination.
