6. Mucocutaneous Disorders Flashcards
What is the etiology of Ectodermal Dysplasia?
X-Linked Recessive
What is the etiology of Pachyonychia Congenita?
Autosomal Dominant
mutation of keratin genes
What is the etiology of White Sponge Nevus?
Autosomal Dominant
mutation in keratin genes
What is the etiology of Hereditary Benign Intraepithelial Dyskeratosis (HBID)?
Autosomal Dominant
Tri-racial isolate from North Carolina
What is the etiology of Dyskeratosis Congenita?
X-linked Recessive
Impared telomerase
What is the etiology of Xeroderma Pigmentosum?
Autosomal Recessive
disorder of chromosomal repair - epithelium can’t repair UV damage
What is the etiology of Fanconi Anemia?
Autosomal Recessive
disorder of chromosomal repair
What is the etiology of Keratosis Follicularis (Darier Disease)?
Autosomal Dominant
Defective cohesion of keratinized cells
What is the etiology of Epidermolysis Bullosa?
Genetic disorder
epithelial attachment disorders of keratin, desomosomes, or collagen of CT
What is the etiology of Lichen Planus?
Unknown
Type IV Cytotoxic Rxn
T8-cells + lymphocytes attack basal cells of skin/mucosa, finding them antigenic
What is the Pathogenesis of Lichenoid Lesions?
Medications cause an antigenic change in the epithelium evoking a T-cell rxn
What Classes of Drugs Cause LP (Lichenoid Drug Rxn)?
- Anti-Hypertensives
- EXCEPT Ca2+ Channel Blockers
- Beta Blockers
- ACE Inhibitors
- NSAIDS
What is the Pathogenesis of Erythema Multiforme?
Acute Type IV Cytotoxic Hypersensitivity Rxn
acute = triggered by something
What are the common triggers of Erythema Multiforme?
- Herpes
- URI (mycoplasma pneumonia)
- Medications (antibiotics)
What triggers Stevens-Johnson Syndrome?
Medication
What is the Pathogenesis of Benign Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid?
Autoimmune Disease
Igs made against basement membrane
What is the Pathogenesis of Pemphigus Vulgaris?
Type 2 Autoimmune Ds
Antibody is produced against intercellular bridges
Attacks desmogleins
What is the Pathogenesis of Paraneoplastic Pemphigus?
Internal Malignancy
lymphoma or leukemia
What is the Pathogenesis of Lupus Erythematosus?
Type III Hypersensitivity
immune complex triggers tisue destruction
What is the Pathogenesis of Scleroderma?
Autoimmune
Continual deposition of collagen throughout the body
What is the Pathogenesis of Graft vs. Host Ds?
Graft T-cells react against host HLA antigens
What is the Clinical Presentation of Ectodermal Dysplasia?
-
Defect of Skin and Oral Adnexal Structures
- No Sweat Glands
- No Sebaceous Glands
- Sparse Blonde Hair
- Few Teeth (peg shaped)
- Hypoplastic or Missing Salivary Glands
- Xerostomia
- URI Infections
- Depressed Midface, Frontal Bossing, Protuberent Lips
What is the Clinical Presentation of Pachyonychia Congenita?
-
Thick Keratin under Finger Nails
- Pushes the nail bed up and loses nails
- Palmar and Plantar Hyperkeratosis
What are the Oral Features of Pachyonychia Congenita?
-
Diffuse White oral lesions primarily on dorsal tongue, lateral tongue, buccal mucosa
- Not premalignant
- In a young persion, it is there their entire lives
- Some family members may have it
What is the Histology of Pachyonychia Congenita?
Hyperparakeratosis and Acanthosis with clear perinuclear spaces
What are the Oral Features of White Sponge Nevus?
- Thick white plaques, throughout oral mucosa
- Particularly buccal mucosa
What is the Histology of White Sponge Nevus?
- Hyperparakeratosis and Acanthosis with “Fried Egg Cells”
- Clear keratinocytes with pink condensed cytoplasm around nucleus
What is the big difference between Pachyonychia Congenita and White Sponge Nevus?
White Sponge Nevus does NOT affect the Skin
- PC has nail lesions, palmar and plantar keratosis
-
Both:
- Autosomal Dominant
- Mutation in Keratin genes
- Diffuse thick white plaques of oral (buccal) mucosa
- Totally Benign
What is the histology of Hereditary Benign Intraepithelial Dyskeratosis (HBID)?
- Hyperparakeratosi and acanthosis with Dyskeratosis
What is the Clinical Presentation fo HBID?
- Conjunctival gelatinous plaques that arise each Spring that cause temporary blindness, but then these plaques fall off
What are the Oral Features of HBID?
-
Thick White Lesions
- Like in WSN and Pacyonychia Congenita
What is the Clinical Presentation of Dyskeratosis Congenita?
-
Skin and Nail Pigmentation Changes
- like in Pachyonchia Congenita
-
Pancytopenia - Marrow Failure
- Shortens Lifespan to age 30
What are the Oral Features of Dyskeratosis Congenita?
-
Widespread Red and White oral lesions
- Transform into SCCA at Early Age
What is the treatment for Dyskeratosis Congenita?
Bone Marrow Transplant
- Won’t prevent transformation into SCCA
- Marrow Failure is the biggest cause of Death
What are the Clinical Features of Xeroderma Pigmentosum? (3)
- Widespread Skin Atrophy and blotchy pigment/depigmentation
-
Multiple Sun-induced Cancers by age 20
- Lip and Tongue Cancer due to UV light
- Melanoma, SCC, BCC
- Most die by age 30
