There is a large variability of tumors and tumor-like lesions, which are located in the oral cavity and oropharynx. But more than 90% of all tumors in this area are squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Other malignancies in this location are rare. About 10% of all oral and oropharyngeal tumors are benign. Congenital lesions, like vascular malformations, lingual thyroid or (epi-)dermoid cyst, usually become present in youth or childhood. Acquired lesions can be inflammatory (abscess) or neoplastic (pleomorphic adenoma and hemangioma). Preferred imaging in childhood are ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while in adults usually computed tomography (CT) and MRI are more frequently used.
口腔和口咽部位存在大量肿瘤及肿瘤样病变，其具有很大的变异性。但该区域超过90%的肿瘤为鳞状细胞癌（SCC）。此部位的其他恶性肿瘤较为罕见。所有口腔和口咽肿瘤中约10%为良性。先天性病变，如血管畸形、舌甲状腺或（表皮样）皮样囊肿，通常在青年期或儿童期出现。后天性病变可为炎症性（脓肿）或肿瘤性（多形性腺瘤和血管瘤）。儿童首选的影像学检查是超声和磁共振成像（MRI），而在成人中，通常更频繁使用计算机断层扫描（CT）和MRI。
