The lesions reported with a greater frequency were the epidermoid carcinomas and the leukoplakias; the lower lip, tongue, gums and cheek, were the most affected anatomical places. The correlation between the clinical and histological diagnosis was about a 75.3%. The need of a premature diagnosis of these lesions in its corresponding level of prevention is indispensable.
