For clinicians using this book, two appendixes provide information on how to manage mucosal disease. The objective is to present specific histologic criteria for the diagnosis of inflammatory conditions, cysts, and tumors seen in the oral cavity; illustrate the spectrum of histologic findings, correlating them with the clinical manifestations; and provide histologic differential diagnoses for these entities. This is particularly important in understanding inflammatory mucosal diseases that are relapsing or remitting, in which the histologic findings depend greatly on the stage of the disease, the site of the biopsy, and whether lesions have been treated. The chapter on diagnosis of oral dysplasia discusses not only the conventional cytologic criteria of dysplasia but also the architectural features that are often overlooked. I have the great advantage of working with clinicians who in this digital age often send their biopsy specimens accompanied by photographs and radiographs of the lesions. I also see many patients in my clinical practice on whom I have performed biopsies. Correlating the clinical appearance of lesions with the histopathology facilitates a better understanding of how mucosal diseases evolve and how subtle and varied histopathologic findings may be. As with any other textbook or atlas, page limitations required that I be selective in choosing the conditions and appropriate references to be included. Many references are now readily identified and downloaded via the Internet. Nevertheless, I hope that you will find this atlas informative and useful in your practice of pathology.
