The gingiva was the site where oral lesions were most commonly found, with 128 samples (43.1%). Incisional biopsies were used to obtain the majority of samples (n\u2009=\u2009256; 86.2%), while excisional biopsies and punch biopsies were performed in 36 (12.1%) and five (1.7%) cases, respectively. Inflammatory and neoplastic lesions accounted for 187 (63%) and 110 (37%) of the studied cases, respectively. Malignancies were found in &gt;80% of neoplastic cases. Feline chronic gingivostomatitis was the most common histological diagnosis (n\u2009=\u2009116; 39.1%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (n\u2009=\u200949; 16.5%) and eosinophilic granuloma complex (n\u2009=\u200933; 11.1%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present work, involving a large series of samples of feline oral cavity lesions, from numerous geographically scattered practices and all examined at a reference veterinary pathology laboratory, adds important new understanding of the epidemiology of feline oral disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x19900033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,7]],"date-time":"2020-02-07T07:48:43Z","timestamp":1581061723000},"page":"977-983","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Feline oral cavity lesions diagnosed by histopathology: a 6-year retrospective study in Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7623-3746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipa","family":"Falc\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CBIOS \u2013 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lus\u00f3fona University, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Fa\u00edsca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBIOS \u2013 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lus\u00f3fona University, Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"DNAtech, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"In\u00eas","family":"Viegas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBIOS \u2013 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lus\u00f3fona University, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Joana Tavares","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBIOS \u2013 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lus\u00f3fona University, Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Petvet Clinical Centers, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9463-1625","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Filipe","family":"Requicha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBIOS \u2013 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lus\u00f3fona University, Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Vila Real, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1098612X19900033","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2013.02.004"},{"key":"bibr2-1098612X19900033","unstructured":"Bonello D.
