Q

tx for nevoid basal cell carcinoma

A

genetic counseling
remove OKCs as needed
remove BCCs as needed
sunscreen and reduce sun exposure to decrease risk of BCC

17
Q

Px or Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome

A

guarded

usually the basal cell carcinomas are small and not very aggressive, but this is variable

Gorlin sign - if you can lick tip of nose

18
Q

developmental cyst

“dental lamina cyst”
biopsy of normal newborn alveolar ridge shows numerous microcystic structures that arise from dental lamina rests (rests of Serres)

A

gingival cyst of the newborn

19
Q

developemental cyst

similar cysts found on palatal raphe (epstein’s pearls) or laterally along hard/sot palate(Bohn’s nodules)
palatal cyst of the newborn is terminology encompassing all these lesions

A

gingival cyst of the newborn

20
Q

1-2mm yellow-white papules
often multiple, on alverolar ridge of newborn
usually maxillary

A

gingival cyst of the newborn

similar cysts found on palatal raphe (epstein’s pearls)

or laterally along hard/sot palate(Bohn’s nodules

21
Q

developmental cysts - gingival cyst of the newborn

tx

Px

A

tx - none - self-marsuplialize or involute/degenerate spontaneously

Px - excellent, rarely found after 3 months

22
Q

developmental cyst
related to the lateral periodontal cyst, this lesion robably arises from the rests of fental lamina (serres) found in the gingiva CT

cystic degeneration fo the rests give rise to thigne gingival cyst

A

gingival cyst of the adult

no gender predilection 
adult over 40
anterior segments of jaws 
above or below MGJ
usually facial. sometime lingual
23
Q

gingival cyst of the adult

male/female
young/old
anterior/posterior jaw
facial/lingual

A
no gender predilection 
adult over 40
anterior segments of jaws 
above or below MGJ
usually facial. sometime lingual
24
Q

smooth-surfaced, dome shape
usually less than 1cm
feels tense to palpation
asymptomatic
no color change with early lesions
bluish or translucent with larger lesions
anterior segments of jaw usually, facial over lingual

radiographic - minimal, if any, radiolucent change: cyst is within the CT

A

gingival cyst of the adult

25
Q

histopathologic features

cyst lined by thin, uniform layer of cuboidal or attenuated (thinned) stratified squamous epithelium within the CT
may see localized nodular thickening

cystic degeneration of rests of Serres

A

gingival cyst of the adult

26
Q

gingival cyst of the adult

tx or px

A

tx - converative excision

px - excellent

27
Q

developemental cysts
non-keratinized developmental cyst occurring adjacent or lateral to the root of a tooth, probably arising from rests of dental lamina (rests of serres)
usually found incidentally on radiograph
5-7th decade
asymptomatic
always vitality test

A

lateral periodontal cyst

28
Q

radiographic features

mandibular premolar/canine/lateral incisor area most common
similar areas of maxilla
radiolucent, usually unilocular but can apear multi
usualy less than 1 cm diameter

A

lateral periodontal cyst

29
Q

histopathological features

cyst lined by thin, uniform stratified squamous epi within fibrous CT

identical appearance to gingival cyst of the adult

A

lateral periodontal cyst

30
Q

lateral periodontal cyst

tx and px

A

tx - curettage

excellent - rarely recurs but requires periodontic radiographic follow-up

31

developemental cyst

probably arise from rests of dental lamina (rest of serres)

equal distribution between maxilla and mandible
any age, peak 2-4
decade ~30 year old

65% incisor-canine regin

A

odontogenic cysts - calcifying odontogenic cyst Gorlin cyst

tooth test vital

35

histopathological features

peripheral palisading cells and stellate reticulum-like areas
similar to the odontogenic tumor ameloblastoma

some lesional cells undergo “ghost cell” change then may calcify

A

calcifying odontogenic cyst

ghost cells are pale eosinophilic, with swollen cytoplasm, loss of the nucleus that exhibits a faint ghostly remnant of a nuclear membrane outline
