Dear Editor, well as the formation of granulomas in tissue5. Inside oral cavity these diseases are ranging from Soft tissue structures of the oral cavity comprise of Sarcoidosis to tuberculosis and crohn’s disease. upper lip, lower lip, buccal mucosa, gingiva, alveolar Miscellaneous diseases comprise of unclassifiable mucosa, floor of mouth, tongue and soft palate1. lesions ranging from traumatic swellings to Swellings of these structures are usually ignored by congenital malformations of veins and arteries. dentists unless patient complains of pain; however these swellings represent a variety of clinical entities, Diagnosis of soft tissue swellings require a proper ranging from developmental anomalies to case history, careful intra oral examination and in manifestations of different syndrome and malignant some cases biopsy, aspiration cytology and other neoplasm2. There is no approved simple type examinations. Greater coordination of dental working classification of soft tissue swellings of oral clinician and Oral pathologists is required in proper cavity in the literature. A simple working type detection and management of these lesions. This classification of soft tissue swellings of oral cavity is classification will be useful for the dental clinicians, proposed here (Table 1). oral pathologists and also for the undergraduate and post graduate dental students who deals with the This classification includes neoplasms, Soft tissue diseases of oral cavity. cysts, non neoplastic salivary gland diseases, granulomatous diseases and miscellaneous diseases.
