Chapter 16-Derm Dz 2 Flashcards
prevalence of peutz-jeghers syndrome
1:50,000-200,000
What are 3 characteristic clinical manifestations/risks of peutz-jeghers?
- freckling of hands, perioral skin, oral mucosa
- hamartomatous intestinal polyps
- predisposition towards cancer 10-18x greater
inheritance of peutz-jeghers
autosomal dominant
What % of peutz-jegher cases represent new mutations
35%
Characteristic molecular change in peutz-jeghers
- chromsome
- encodes ____
- STK11 mutation also called LKB1
- chromosome 19p13.3
- encodes serine/threonine kinase
How do you tell the difference between an ephelide and a lesion of peutz-jeghers?
PJ lesions do not wax and wane with sun exposure
In addition to hamartomatous polyps of the jejunum and ileum (predominantly) PJ patients also are at increased risk of what intestinal complication?
intussusception- telescoping of the bowel
are patients with PJ at higher risk of GI adenocarcinoma?
yes- but unrelated to the polyps apparently
___% of women with Peutz-jeghers develop breast cancer by 60
50%
Histiologic appearance of pigmented lesion of peutz-jeghers intraorally
- acanthosis, elogated rete ridges
- elongated dendritic processes of melanocytes with pigment
- no increase in the # of melanocytes
Characterized by numerous vascular hamartomas of the skin and mucosa
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT)
Inheritance pattern of HHT? Alternate name?
autosomal dominant… OSLER-WEBER-RENDU Syndrome
Prevalence of HHT? Whats usually the first sign of HHT?
1:5000-18000…Epistaxis
Genetic mutations for:
- HHT1
- HHT2
- Overlapping syndrome of HHT and juvenile polyposis
- ENG (endoglin gene) chromo 9
- ALK1; ACVRL1 chromo 12
- MADH4
HHT1 characteristically affects what (2) organs more frequently than HHT2 which affects ____
HHT1: pulmonary (lungs) cerebral (brain)
HHT2: liver
patients with overlapping syndrome of MADH4 have an increased risk of _________ at an early age
colorectal carcinoma
Oral lesions of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia consist of multiple small telangiectasias that most frequently involve which 3 sites?
- vermillion zone of the lips, 2.tongue and 3.buccal mucosa
GI telangiectasias of HHT tend to rupture and cause significant GI bleeding resulting in _____
chronic iron deficiency anemia
Patients with HHT are at an increased risk of brain abscesses if they develop _____ _____ of the lungs
AV fistulas (15-45% of patients)
Criteria for diagnosis of HHT (4) 3 of 4 required for diagnosis
- recurrent spontaneous epistaxis
- telangiectasia of the mucosa and skin
- AV malformation involving lungs, liver or CNS
- family history of HHT
What might you consider on your clinical differential in patients with multiple telangiectasias?
-how would you differentiate the two conditions?
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia VS CREST syndrome….anticentromere autoantibody testing +CREST -HHT
what monoclonal antibody is used in the treatment of HHT
bevacizumab: antibody against VEGF
What is the main clinical (dental) consideration for a pt with HHT?
antibiotic prophylaxis….HHT pt may have an AV fistula on the lung…. also 1% of HHT pts have a brain abscess
hypermobility of joints, easy bruising, elasticity of skin is characteristic of what disease?
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (group of inherited CT disorders)
