A

ovoid areas of hypopigmentation

28
Q

what is the name for the rare tumor of the heart muscle that is associated with tuberous sclerosis?

A

cardiac rhabdomyoma

29
Q

where are the angiomyolipomas found that are characteristic of tuberous sclerosis?

A

on the kidney

30

what are the oral manifestations of tuberous sclerosis?

A
  • developmental enamel pitting on the facial aspect of the anterior permanent teeth
  • multiple fibrous papules
31
Q

what is the treatment for tuberous sclerosis?

A

it is directed toward management of the seizure disorder and periodic imaging studies

32
Q

describe the lifespan of patients with tuberous sclerosis

A

they have a reduced lifespan - death is usually via CNS or kidney disease

33
Q
A

tuberous sclerosis

34
Q

___ is a group of inherited blistering mucocutaneous disorders

A

epidermolysis bullosa

35
Q

what are the four types of epidermolysis bullosa?

A
  • simplex
  • junctional
  • dystrophic
  • hemidesmosomal
36
Q

which type of epidermolysis bullosa is characterized by blistering of hands and feet, mucosal involvement is uncommon, no scarring, and has a good prognosis?

A

epidermolysis bullosa simplex

37
Q

which type of epidermolysis bullosa is characterized by severe blistering at birth, granulation tissue around the mouth, oral lesions ar common, and is often fatal?

A

junctional epidermolysis bullosa

38
Q

which type of epidermolysis bullosa can be dominant or recessive?

A

dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

39
Q

which type of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is characterized by blisters on areas exposed to chronic trauma (knuckles, knees), scarring occurs, mild oral manifestations, and is usually not life threatening?

A

dominant

40
Q

which type of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is characterized by blisters with minor trauma (like eating), secondary infections occur because of the large surface area involved, is severely debilitating, and if patients survive into teenage years, their hands will be scarred into “mittens”?

A

recessive

41
Q

what is the treatment for epidermolysis bullosa?

A

varies with type

  • none is needed for mild cases
  • sterile drainage of large blisters and topical ABX are used for more severe cases
42
Q

what is the prognosis for patients with severe forms of epidermolysis bullosa?

A

usually succomb to the disease before adulthood

43
Q
A

epidermolysis bullosa

44
Q

what 4 disorders fall under the term “pemphibus”? which is the most common?

A
  • pemphigus vulgaris - most common, affects oral mucosa
  • pemphigus vegetans

what lesions associated with pemphigus vulgaris are the first sign of the disease and the last to resolve with therapy?

A

oral lesions

“first to show, last to go”

Q

describe the intraepthelial split associated with pemphigus vulgaris

autoantibodies are directed against the desmosomes, which bond epithelial cells to each other, causing a split within the epithelium (intraepithelial split)

47
Q

initial manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris affect the ___ in adults, around age ___

A
  • oral mucosa
  • 50
48
Q

what is the gender predilection of pemphigus vulgaris?

patients with pemphigus vulgaris will complain of ___ and will exhibit multiple ___ throughout on intraoral examination

A
  • oral pain
  • erosions
50
Q

patients with pemphigus vulgaris rarely report ___ or ___ formation intraorally; what is this likely due to?

A
  • vesicle or bulla

51
Q

describe the skin lesions associated with pemphigus vulgaris

A

flaccid vesicles and bullae that rupture quickly and leave an ulceration

52
Q

without treatment of pemphigus vulgaris, the oral and cutaneous lesions are ___

A

progressive

53
Q

a characteristic feature of pemphigus vulgaris is a positive ___

A

nikolsky sign

54
Q

describe the nikolsky sign associated with pemphigus vulgaris

A

bulla that can be induced on normal appearing skin if firm lateral pressure is exerted

55
Q

what are the histopathological features of pemphigus vulgaris?

A
  • cells of the epithelium “fall apart” - termed acantholysis
  • the loose cells are rounded and termed tzanck cells, which can be useful in diagnosis
    • tzanck cells aren’t exclusive to pemphigus vulgaris; they are also a histopathologic feature of herpes
56
Q

pemphigus vulgaris

direct immunofluorescence is positive for ___

indirect immunofluorescence correlates with ___

A
  • direct - positive for C3 and IgG within the epithelium
  • indirect correlates with disease activity
57
Q

before the development of ___, 90% of patients with pemphigus vulgaris died due to infection and electrolyte imbalances

A

corticosteroids

58
Q

what is the treatment for pemphigus vulgaris?

A
  • send to a dermatologist who administers systemic corticosteroids
  • often in combination with other immunosuppressive drugs
59
Q

describe the prognosis of people with pemphigus vulgaris who are receiving treatment

A
  • 75% will have disease resolution in 10 years
  • 15% will remain on steroids throughout life
  • 10% will succomb to disease, usually due to complications of long-term steroid use
60
Q
A
