ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency and characterize clinic-pathologic aspects of thrombus occurring as a single lesion or in association with other oral pathologies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 122 cases of thrombus from the oral cavity were retrieved. Information regarding site of the lesion, age, sex and clinical diagnosis or hypothesis and associated lesions were collected from the patients' records. RESULTS: The lesions occurred in a wide age range but the 5th decade was the most prevalent and female patients were more affected. The most frequent site for the lesion was the lip, followed by tongue, buccal mucosa, alveolar ridge, gingiva, floor of the mouth and vestibule. Thirty-five cases were associated with other vascular anomalies or actinic cheilitis. Microscopically, typical thrombus morphology was present. Organized thrombus presented neovascularization and fibroblasts, associated with hemorrhagic areas. CONCLUSIONS: Only 4 cases of oral thrombus have been described in the oral cavity. Given the limited number of cases reported, the importance of a thrombus in the oral cavity is not well established. This study contributes to establishing the profile of patients presenting oral thrombus, a lesion not rare but not well documented
