Q

Main cause of tooth loss before age 35.

A

Dental caries

23
Q

Main consequences of gingivitis.

A

Plaque and calculus

24
Q

Fibrous proliferative lesion usually occurring in children, adults and pregnant women (pregnancy tumor); histologically, characterized by organizing granulation tissue (highly vascular).

A

Pyogenic granuloma

25
Q

Most common oral fungal infection.

A

Candidiasis

26
Q

Characterized by vesicle formation; histologically characterized by ballooned cells with large eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions (Cowdry Type A inclusion bodies).

A

Herpetic gingivostomatitis

27
Q

A white/red plaque that cannot be scraped off; considered precancerous unless proven otherwise; the red plaque is more associated with malignancy than the white plaque; most common risk factor is cigarette smoking.

A

Leukoplakia/Erythroplakia

28
Q

Most common histologic type of oral cavity cancer.

A

Squamous cell carcinoma

29
Q

Most common benign tumor of the salivary gland; histologically characterized by epithelial elements arranged in ducts, acini, irregular tubules, strands, or even sheets, in a mesenchyme-like background of loose myxoid tissue containing islands of chondroid and rarely, foci of bone; locally invasive.

A

Pleomorphic adenoma

30
Q

The most common primary malignant tumor of salivary glands composed of mucous and squamous cells.

A

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

31
Q

Most common epithelial odontogenic tumor that arises from odontogenic epithelium that does not demonstrate extomesenchymal differentiation; locally invasive.

A

Ameloblastoma

32
Q

Rare neoplasm with strong links to EBV and high frequency among the Chinese population. Characterized by large epithelial cells having indistinct borders (syncytial growth) and prominent eosinophilic nucleoli.

A

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma

33
Q

A benign neoplasm usually on the true vocal cords that forms a soft, raspberry-like excresence rarely more then 1 cm in diameter; consists of multiple, slender, finger-like projections.

A

Laryngeal papilloma

34
Q

Most common symptom of laryngeal carcinoma.

A

Persistent hoarseness

35
Q

Common etiologic agents implicated in laryngeal carcinoma

A

Smoking, alcohol, asbestos, radiation, HPV

36
Q

Most common histologic type of laryngeal carcinoma

A

Squamous cell carcinoma (95%)

37
Q

Most common location of laryngeal carcinoma

A

Glottic (60-75%)

38
Q

Most common cause of otitis media.

A

Viral

39
Q

Most common primary bacterial causes of acute otitis media.

A

S. pneumoniae, non-typeable H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis

40
Q

Most common causes of chronic otitis media.

A

P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, fungus, mixed

41
Q

Complications of otitis media.

A

Brain abscess and cholesteatoma

42
Q

True cyst arising from remnant of second branchial arch (most common); clinically presents as upper lateral neck mass along SCM.

A

Branchial cleft cyst

43
Q

Most common congenital anomaly of thyroid gland; arising from remnants of thyroid gland descent; clinically present as a midline mass along the track of descent of the thyroid gland; treatment of choice is Sistrunk procedure.

A

Thyroglossal duct cyst

44
Q

Neuroendocrine neoplasm associated with ANS; basically, an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma (histologically); can be located paravertebral (sympathetic), or in aorticopulmonary chain (parasympathetic).

A

Paranganglioma

45

Submandibular

48
Q

Most common site of tumors regardless of behavior.

A

Parotid gland

49
Q

Most common tumor of the salivary gland; also the most common benign tumor.

A

Pleomorphic adenoma

50
Q

Most common primary malignant tumor of the salivary gland; and the second most common tumor.

A

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

51
Q

Second most common benign tumor of the salivary gland, with high association with smoking.

A

Warthin tumor (Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum)

52
Q

Highly aggressive malignancy of the salivary gland, with high propensity for perinueral invasion, and high occurrence of distant metastasis.

A
