Exam 6-NEOPLAMS of Bone-Benign Flashcards
Benign Vs. Malignant: Benign- Asymptomatic, grows _____ and by expansion: _____ teeth and ______ the cortex, symmetrical, does not metastasize
slowly…displaces…expands
Benign Vs. Malignant: Malignant- Usually symptomatic, grows more ______, ______ and destroys adjacent structures, often asymmetrical, ragged or poorly defined borders and destroys cortex, lays down bone ______ the cortex, capable of metastasis
rapidly…INVADES…OUTSIDE
What are the 4 Bone Neoplasms/Growths that are BENIGN?
1.Exostoses 2.Osteoma 3.Osteiod Osteoma 4.OsteoBlastoma
What are the 3 bone neoplasms that are Cartilagenous in nature??
1.Chondroma 2.Chondromyxoid fibroma 3.Benign ChondroBlastoma
What is the bone neoplasm that is of Fibrous origin?
Desmoplastic Fibroma
What is a localized proliferation of bone that arises from the cortical plate?
an Exostoses
An exostoses is a localized proliferation of bone that arises from the _______ plate with minimal to NO _______ bone involvement
cortical…medullary
What are the fancy Latin names for exostoses on the mandible? maxilla?
Torus Palatinus, Torus Mandibularis
What is the most common site for an exostosis?
Buccal area of maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridge is the most common site
Are exostoses often unilateral or bilateral?
Bilateral
What age group is most affected by exostoses?
adults
Although exostoses are just a bony hard, elevated, nodular lesion and are asymptomatic, the thin overlying mucosa may ______ easily
ULCERATE
Where are Torus Palatinus ALWAYS located???
midline of the hard palate
The etiology of Torus Palatinus is probably _______
multifactorial
Where is a Torus Mandibularis located?
Lingual Premolar area of the mandible
What % of Torus Mandibularis are bilateral?
90%!
What is a localized proliferation of bone that MAY be indistinguishable from tori, but it does have the distinguishing factor of involving the medullary bone OR cortical bone (torus is just cortical)???
an Osteoma
The TYPE of bone in an osteoma is variable, from dense, compact ______-like bone without significant marrow to
______ bone with trabecular pattern and marrow
cortical…Cancellous
Osteomas are almost EXCLUSIVE to what region of the body??
craniofacial skeleton
Osteomas are MOST OFTEN _______ lesions and are asymptomatic
SOLITARY
Getting a bit more specific, we know ostemas are almost exclusive to the craniofacial skeleton, but where in this region is their predilection?
sinuses
