Connective Tissue Lesions Flashcards
Most common benign tumor of the oral cavity
Fibroma
Fibroma also called
Irritation fibroma
Traumatic fibroma
Most common site for fibroma
Buccal mucosa near the occlusal plane - cheek biting
Labial mucosa
Tongue
Gingiva
Denture induce fibrous hyperplasia of oral mucosa related to the chronic trauma produced by an ill fitting denture
Denture fissuratum
Denture epulis
Common site for denture epulis
Facial aspect of alveolar ridge
Difference between peripheral fibroma and fibroma
Fibroma is seen in buccal mucosa and tongue commonly
Peripheral is commonly seen on gingiva
Reactive gingival growth identical to peripheral fibroma but contains calcified islands within the fibrous tissue
Peripheral ossifying fibroma
Firm slow growing sessile gingival mass covered by normal appearing mucosa commonly found on the facial gingiva of mandible containing stands of ODONTOGENIC epi within the CT
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma
Drugs contributing in gingival hyperplasia
Phenytoin
Cyclosporin
Nifedipine
Diltiazem
Amlodipine
Verapamil
Benign vascular smooth muscle tumor
Leiomyoma
Intraoral sites for leiomyoma
Lips
Tongue
Palate
Cheek
Malignant neoplasm of smooth muscle, presents as enlarging ulcerated mass that may or may not be painful intraorally
Leiomyosarcoma
Granular cell tumor also known as
Granular cell myoblastoma
Intraoral site for granular cell tumor/myoblastoma
Dorsal surface of the tongue
Buccal mucosa
Age predilection in granular cell tumor
Female
4th to 6th decade of life
Granular cell tumor may be mistaken for SCC because
Pseudo epitheliumatous hyperplasia of the overlying oral epi specially on the tongue
Soft tissue tumor in on the max alveolar ridge of newborn females
Congenital epulis of newborn
Autoimmune disease involving deposition of large amounts of dense collagen 1 and 3
Systemic sclerosis
Scleroderma
Features of scleroderma
Females
30-50 yrs of age
2 forms
Limited - no internal organs involved
Diffuse - skin along with heart kidney BB joints etc involved
Pulmonary fibrosis - Leading to pulmonary hypertension and HF
Smooth mask like face, fibrosis of fingers claw like fingers
Atrophic nasal alae

Systemic sclerosis
Oral manifestations of systemic sclerosis
Microstomia
Trismus
Purse string app
Dysphagia
Xerostomia
Firm hypomobile tongue
Loss of attached gingiva
Recession
Diffuse widening of PDL
