Proper management of an oral mucosal lesion begins with diagnosis, and the gold standard for diagnosing disease, oral or otherwise, is tissue biopsy. The oral environment, which is moist and confined, poses challenges for collecting a viable tissue sample that will be suitable for diagnosis. These challenges are further compounded by the myriad of biopsy techniques and devices now available. In addition, certain oral subsites are subject to diagnostic pitfalls that necessitate modifications of technique. This article provides an overview of the oral soft-tissue biopsy and highlights some potential pitfalls.
口腔黏膜病变的恰当管理始于诊断，而诊断疾病（无论是口腔疾病还是其他疾病）的金标准是组织活检。口腔环境潮湿且封闭，这给采集适合诊断的 viable 组织样本带来了挑战。现在有大量的活检技术和设备，这些挑战进一步加剧。此外，某些口腔亚部位存在诊断陷阱，需要对技术进行改进。本文概述了口腔软组织活检，并强调了一些潜在的陷阱。
