AB  - Objective: The skin is the largest organ of our body and maydevelop different benign skin lesions in different periods of life. Benign skinlesions generally cause cosmetic discomfort and morbidity is not high. However,as part of some syndromes they may be precursors of paraneoplastic or metabolicdiseases. In this study benign skin lesions frequently sent to Ordu UniversityFaculty of Medicine Pathology Department were analyzed and discussedaccompanied by the literature.Material and Methods: The study included 127 benign skin lesion caseswith diagnosis at the pathology laboratory in our center in 2015 and 2016.Preparates were retrospectively re-assessed and current diagnoses recorded. Theage, gender and lesion localization of patients included in the study wererecorded.Results: Of cases, 34 had epidermal cyst, 33 hadfibroepithelial polyp, 10 had squamous papilloma, 23 had seborrheic keratosis,18 had trichilemmal cyst and 9 had verruca vulgaris. Of all cases 55.2% weremale and 44.8% were female. There were 69 cases (54%) with head and necklocalization, and 58 cases (46%) with localization other than the head andneck. Head and neck localization was present for 41% of epidermal cysts, 88% oftrichilemmal cysts, all squamous papilloma, 21% of fibroepithelial polyps, 65%of seborrheic keratosis and 77% of verruca vulgaris.Conclusion: There were higher male patient rates among casesincluded in the study. According to frequency, locations included thehead-neck, trunk, genital region and extremities. Disease was identified in allage ranges. The study concluded that for diagnostic methods to be effective andaccurate for benign skin lesions, it is necessary to use pathologic methods.
