Benign soft Tissue Tumors Flashcards
reactive benign soft tissue tumors
fibroma
+ reactive gingival nodules
reactive gingival nodules
- pyogenic granuloma
2 peripheral giant cell granuloma
3 peripheral ossifying fiborma
neoplastic benign soft tissue tumors
lipomatous neural vascular muscular (rhabdomyoma + leiomyoma) myofibroblastic (myofibroma)
fibroma
reactive hyperplasia of fibrous CT
a fibroma is a response to
local trauma or irritation
what is themost common tumor of the oral cavity
fibroma
is a fibroma a true neoplasm?
no
most common location of a fibroma
buccal mucosa
clinical features of fibroma
typically sessile, smooth surface nodule, may be whitish from hyperkeratosis but usually normal in color
most common age for fibromas
30-60
fibroma
asypmtomatic + female predilection
histopathology of fibromas
unencapsulated
-nodular mass of densely collagenized fibrous CT covered by stratified squamous epithelium
do fibromas recur?
rarely
what should we r/o with fibroms
neoplasia
giant cell fibroma clinical features
- asymptomatic nodule
- papillary
- younger patients than those with fibromas
- female predilection
50% giant cell fibromas occur on
gingiva
retrocuspid papilla
- giant cell fibroma
- bilateral often
- pink papule
retrocuspid papilla lingual to
mandibular canines
histology of giant cell fibroma
- large stellate fibroblasts w/ several nuclei
- rete ridges narrow and elongated
- vascular fibrous CT
pyogenic granuloma (reactive gingival nodules)
lobular capillary hemangioma
pyogenic granuloma poorly names
neither pyogenic nor granuloma
pyogenic granuloma=lobular capillary hemangioma= pregnancy tumor
may be seen in pregnant women
pyogenic granuloma=lobular capillary hemangioma= pregnancy tumor
- smooth or lobulated mass
- pedunculated or sessile
- red-pink-purple
- often ulcerated
- newer lesions more vascular, older lesions collagenized
- painless mass may bleed easily
pyogenic granuloma=lobular capillary hemangioma= pregnancy tumor clinical features
- 75%-85% on gingiva
- maxilla>mandible
- anterior> posterior
- facial > lingual
- more common in young patients
- female predilection
epulis granulomatosa is seen in
pyogenic granuloma=lobular capillary hemangioma= pregnancy tumor
epulis granulomatosa
- hyperplastic granulation tissue arising in healing extraction socket
- reaction to bony sequestra in socket
pyogenic granuloma=lobular capillary hemangioma= pregnancy tumor clinical features histopathologic features
- vascular proliferation of granulation tissue
- endothelium lined channels engorged with RBCs
peripheral giant cell granuloma
soft tissue counterpart of central giant cell granuloma
peripheral giant cell granuloma occurs
on gingiva only
color of peripheral giant cell granuloma
more blue-purple than pyogenic granuloma
peripheral giant cell granuloma peak age and sex
40-60 years, slight female predilection
peripheral giant cell granuloma radiographic features
- cupping resorption of bone may be seen
- if unclear whether lesion originated in bone or soft tissue, patient must be worked up for hyperparathyroidism
peripheral giant cell granuloma radiographic features-if unclear whether lesion originated in bone or soft tissue, patient must be worked up for
hyperparathyroidism
peripheral giant cell granuloma histopathology
- multinucleated giant cells with up to several dozen nuclei
- background of plump ovoid spindle shaped mesenchymal cells with mitoses
- hemorrhage + hemosiderin
peripheral giant cell granuloma histopathology-overlying mucosa ulcerated
50% of cases
peripheral giant cell granuloma recur?
10-18% recur and must be re-excised
peripheral giant cell granuloma r/o/
osteoglastic brown tumors of hyperparathyroidism
peripheral ossifying fibroma not to be mistaken for
peripheral odontogenic fibroma or central ossifying fibroma
peripheral ossifying fibroma occurs on
gingiva only
peripheral ossifying fibroma color
red-pink
- frequently ulcerated
- usually
peripheral ossifying fibroma occurs in
teens + young adults
- female predilection 2:1
- maxilla
- anterior
- rare migration and loosening of teeth
peripheral ossifying fibroma histopathology
fibrous proliferation w/ formation of mineralized product
lipoma
benign tumor of adipose tissue
1 most common mesenchymal neoplasm
lipoma
- most occur on trunk or extremities
- rarely in oral cavity
- more common in obese, but metabolized independently of normal body fat
lipoma clinical features
- pink or yellow in color
- 50% of intra oral cases in buccal vestibule or buccal mucosa
- soft, smooth-surfaced nodules usually
