Connective Tissue Lesions (fibrous) Flashcards
Reactive conditions are derived from ___ cells and are represented by fibrous hyperplasia or exuberant proliferations of granulation tissue
Mesenchymal
Reactive conditions are derived from ___ cells and are represented by fibrous hyperplasia or exuberant proliferations of granulation tissue
Mesenchymal
____ hyperplasias comprise a group of fibrous connective tissue lesion that commonly occur in the oral mucosa secondary to injury
Reactive
A reactive hyperplastic mass that occurs on the gingiva and is believed to be derived from connective tissue of the submucosa or PDL
Peripheral fibroma
Any age
Males > females
Gingiva anterior to to permanent molars is most often affected
Peripheral fibroma
Presents clinically as a stalk (pedunculated) or a broad-based (sessile) mass that is similar in color to surrounding connective tissue
Peripheral fibroma
Hyperplastic scar
Highly collagenous and relatively avascular. Contains mild to moderate chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate
Peripheral fibroma
Gingival counterpart of peripheral fibroma
Traumatic fibroma (oral mucosa)
A subtype of peripheral fibroma that is a gingival mass in which islands of women (immature)bone and osteoid are seen.
Peripheral ossifying fibroma
A subtype of peripheral fibroma that is a gingival mass composed of well-vascularized, non encapsulated fibrous connective tissue.
Strands of odontogenic epithelium are often abundant
Amorphous hard tissue resembling tertiary dentin
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma
A subtype of peripheral fibroma that is a fibrous hyperplasia in which many of the mesenchymal cells are relatively larger than normal fibroblasts and assumes a stellate shape
Giant cell fibroma
DD of peripheral fibroma
Peirpheral giant cell granuloma
Pyogenic granuloma
Treatment of peripheral fibroma
Local excision, which should include the PDL
Reactive lesion usually caused by chronic trauma to oral mucous membrane
Overexuberant fibrous connective tissue repair results in a clinically evident submucosal mass
These are misnomers because there lesions are not benign tumor of fibroblasts
Focal fibrous hyperplasia
No gender and racial predilection
Very common reactive hyperplasia - typically found in buccal mucosa, lateral border of the tongue, and lower lip.
Painless, broad-based swelling that is pale in color, due to lack of vascular channels
Focal fibrous hyperplasia
These lesion have limited growth potential and do not exceed by 1-2 cm in diameter
Focal fibrous hyperplasia
If multiple focal fibrous hyperplasia, what are the syndrome that is commonly associated with?
Cowden’s syndrome or multiple hamartoma syndrome
Organ system associated with focal fibrous hyperplasia
Skin
Breast
Mucosa
Throid
Colon
Frequently encountered abnormalities in focal fibrous hyperplasia
Numerous fibromas and papillomas:
Cutaneous papules
Keratosses
Trichilemmomas
Benign and malignant neoplasms of the breast and thyroid
Colonic polyps
Underlying genetic problem appears to be related to germline mutation of the tumor suppressor gene in focal fibrous hyperplasia
PTEN found on chromosome 10q23
Histopath of focal fibrous hyperplasia
Collagen overproduction
Hyperkeratotic epithelium
DD of focal fibrous hyperplasia
IF TONGUE
Neurofibroma
Schwannoma
Granular cell tumor
LOWER LIP AND BUCCAL MUCOSA
Lipoma
Mucocele
Salivary gland tumor
