24
Q

What are the most common sites for nevomelanocytic nevi?

A

Hard palate, buccal mucosa, lip, gingiva

25
Q

Q

Where do most blue nevi occur?

A

Q

Junctional nevi have nevus cells in what layers?

A

bulging down from the basal layer

29
Q

In compound nevi and intramucosal nevi, where are the nevus cells?

A

Several centimeters

33
Q

What tissues and cells are seen in melanoacanthosis?

A

Acanthotic SSE with spongiosis.
Dendritic melanocytes scattered throughout tissue
Eosinophils are seen in the epithelium and lamina propr.

34
Q

Verruciform xanthoma presents as?

A

A solitary, red or white, sessile lesion

35
Q

What causes verruciform xanthoma?

A

Usually trauma

Q

Who gets verruciform xanthoma and where do they occur?

A

Middle aged or elder people on the gingiva or alveolar ridge

37
Q

What are xanthoma cells?

A

Lipid filled macrophages

38
Q

Xanthomas are seen in what two illnesses?

A

Diabetes mellitus and familial disturbances in lipid metabolism

39
Q

Is a lipoma encapsulated?

A

Yes

40
Q

What can cause a herniated buccal fat pad?

A

herniation of the buccal fat pad through the buccinator muscle

41
Q

How do you distinguish a buccal fat pad from a lipoma?

A

Skeletal muscle fibers within the adipose tissue

42

Q

In what case is a neurofibroma free movable?

A

If it arises within the perineurium

55
Q

Can a neurofibroma be encapsulated?

A

Yes, if the proliferation occurs within the perineurium otherwise it blends into the surrounding CT
