Understanding the Importance of Excision Biopsy of Benign Lesion
An Excision Biopsy of Benign Lesion involves the surgical removal of a small oral lump, patch, or growth, followed by analysis in a pathology laboratory. Although most are benign (non-cancerous), confirming this fact is essential. This procedure not only removes the abnormal tissue but also ensures a definitive diagnosis—allowing for appropriate treatment or assurance.
At Affinity Dental Clinics, excision biopsy of benign lesion in the Philippines is an integral part of our Oral Surgery offerings. Our patients trust us to handle their health concerns with clinical accuracy, surgical precision, and personal care.
Why Excision Biopsy Matters
Diagnostic clarity is crucial in oral health. Common reasons to perform an excision biopsy include:
• A lump or thickening without a clear cause
• Red (erythroplakia) or white patches (leukoplakia) that persist
• A slow-growing bump in the cheek, lip, tongue, or gum
• Lesions that bleed easily or change in appearance
• Areas of chronic irritation from dentures, braces, or sharp teeth
While most intraoral lesions are benign, enucleating and analyzing them is the only way to rule out dysplasia or early malignancy. Early detection can make all the difference—and removal is often simple when lesions are small and accessible.
Common Types of Benign Oral Lesions We Treat
Our oral surgeons are skilled at identifying and removing a variety of benign growths, including:
A firm mound of fibrous tissue commonly caused by repetitive biting or trauma.
A fluid-filled cyst, often on the lower lip, that develops from ruptured salivary glands.
A wart-like lesion, frequently caused by HPV, often found on the tongue or palate.
Soft, fatty lumps under the mucosa that may cause localized swelling.
A red or reddish-blue growth that bleeds easily, often related to hormonal changes.
A firm gum growth that may contain bone; commonly occurs near the front teeth.
A gum growth often linked to chronic irritation or poor oral hygiene.
Reactive tissue proliferation due to chronic irritation or trauma.
We perform excision biopsies not only to remove these lesions but also to confirm their nature through histopathological analysis.
Why Trust Affinity Dental Clinics

Excision biopsy of benign lesion in the Philippines are performed in our clinics by formally trained Oral Surgeons experienced in soft-tissue diagnosis and microsurgery. This means every procedure is handled with care and expertise.

- Detailed clinical and photographic documentation to assist in surgical planning
All biopsies are done in:
- Sterile treatment or operating rooms
- Surgical-grade instruments for precise soft-tissue removal

The Excision Biopsy Experience
Here’s a step-by-step overview of how an Excision Biopsy is performed:
- A comprehensive clinical and medical review
- Examination of the lesion’s size, appearance, and location
- Digital imaging (X-ray / CBCT if needed)
- Discussion of the procedure, anesthesia, recovery, and alternatives
We will answer your questions and create a plan that supports your peace of mind.
- Local anesthesia to numb the area
- Conscious Sedation option for comfort
- Excision of the lesion with a small margin to ensure full removal
- Hemostasis (stopping bleeding) and placement of sutures as needed
- Careful labeling and handling of the specimen for pathology
Aftercare and Healing Process
After an excision biopsy, standard recovery steps include:
• Cold compress application for 24 hour
• Soft food and gentle oral hygiene for a few days
• Possible antibiotic prescription (depending on patient health)
• Gentle mouth rinsing starting 24 hours post-op
• Avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, spicy foods until healing completes
• Scheduled follow-up visit after 1–2 weeks for suture check and biopsy review
Healing in the oral environment typically progresses quickly, with full tissue regeneration visible within 2–3 weeks, depending on lesion size.
Interpreting Biopsy Results
Pathology analysis generally takes 7–10 business days. Upon receiving results, your surgeon will:
• Recommend observation, no further treatment, or removal of marginal tissue for complete excision
• Discuss follow-up frequency for check-ups or re-biopsy
• Coordinate with referrals if needed for rare dysplasia or early lesions
Our goal is clear diagnosis and peace of mind for your oral health.

Intraoral tissues rarely leave noticeable scarring. Any concerns regarding aesthetics can be addressed during follow-up visits.
