Abstract
The data collected indicate an 88.9% diagnostic concordance with final pathologic results for incisional oral biopsy diagnoses. Sixty percent of discordance was attributed to sampling error when sampled tissue was not representative of the lesion in toto. Multiple-site biopsy specimens and larger-volume samples allowed for a more accurate diagnosis.
