Material and  Method: The present  retrospective study was done with the help of  the records obtained from the archives. Archival biopsy reports were taken from the dental and maxillofacial centre. Patients below the age of 15 years were included in the study. Results-Based on Age and sex, out of the 300 biopsy reports in the institute, 26 were pediatric cases. From those   26 pediatric patients 12  were boys and 14  were girls. 6 patients were in the 0-5 age group, 16 patients were between 6-10 years and 4 patients were between 11-14 years. Conclusion: This study is an attempt to determine the commonest pediatric oral and maxillofacial pathologies reported.
