Oral Pathology
Your oral cavity can reflect signs of systemic illness, chronic infection, or early-stage cancer, sometimes before symptoms appear elsewhere. At Apollo, our Oral Pathology unit specializes in the microscopic and clinical evaluation of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures. We serve as a critical diagnostic link between your dental symptoms and an accurate, evidence-based diagnosis.
From biopsies of suspicious oral lesions to histopathological examination of cysts, tumors, and developmental abnormalities, our team works behind the scenes to provide vital answers that guide treatment across all dental and medical specialties. We support early detection, monitor disease progression, and help clinicians make informed decisions, particularly in cases of oral cancer, autoimmune conditions, chronic ulcers, and rare syndromes.
Services:
- Histopathological Examination: Microscopic analysis of biopsy samples to diagnose cysts, tumors, and pre-cancerous lesions.
- Oral Biopsy Services: Minor surgical procedures to collect tissue samples from abnormal areas in the mouth.
- Evaluation of Oral Lesions: Diagnostic assessment of growths, non-healing ulcers, pigmented spots, and unusual changes in the soft tissues.
- Salivary Gland Pathology: Study and diagnosis of neoplasms, sialadenitis, and salivary gland dysfunction.
- Oral Cancer Diagnosis: Identification and grading of malignant and potentially malignant conditions.
- Diagnostic Reports: Detailed histopathological reports with clinical correlation, supporting your treating dentist or physician.
- Interdisciplinary Consults: Collaboration with surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and oral medicine experts for comprehensive care planning.
Our oral pathology lab is equipped with high-resolution microscopes, digital imaging, and trained technical staff to ensure accuracy and efficiency. Turnaround times are minimized to avoid delays in patient care, and reports are stored securely within your Apollo digital health record.
You may be referred to our department following a clinical examination or lesion screening. Our goal is to detect and diagnose conditions as early as possible, enabling timely treatment and better outcomes.
