Define papule
A solid, raised lesion which is less than 5 mm in diameter
Define nodule
A solid, raised lesion which is greater than 5 mm in diameter
Define sessile
Describing a tumor or growth whose base is widest part of the lesion
Define pedunculated
Describing a tumor or growth whose base is narrower than the widest part of the lesion
Define papillary
Describing a tumor or growth exhibitnig numerous surface projections
Define verrucous
Describing a tumor or growth exhibiting a rough, warty surface
Define vesicle
A superficial blister, 5 mm or less in diameter, usually filled with clear fluid
Define bulla
A large blister, greater than 5 mm in diameter
Define pustule
A blister filled with purulent exudate (pus)
Define ulcer
A lesion characterized by loss of the surface epithelium and frequently some of the underlying connective tissue. It often appears depressed or excavated
Define erosion
A superficial lesion, often arising secondary to rupture of a vesicle or bulla, that is characterized by partial or total loss of surface epithelium
Define fissure
A narrow slit like groove
Define plaque
A lesion that is slightly elevated and is flat on its surface
Define petechia
A round pinpoint hemorrhage
Define ecchymosis
A non-elevated area of hemorrhage, larger than a petechia (a bruise)
Define telangiectasia
A vascular lesion caused by dilatation of a small superficial blood vessel
Define a cyst
A pathologic epithelium-lined cavity, often filled with liquid or semi-solid contents (histologic diagnosis)
Define unilocular
Describing radiolucent lesion having a single compartment
Define multilocular

Define anyloglossia
Restriction of the tongue by an abnormally short and anteriorly positioned lingual frenum
2 potential consequences of ankyloglossia
