Extra Histology/Pathology Flashcards
what is a fibrous epulis
pedunculated mass which may be ulcerated
what is histology of fibrous epulis
ulceration
granulation tissue
metaplastic bone formation
name a type of vascular epulides
pyogenic granuloma
what does histology of pyogenic granulomas show
vascular proliferation
oedematous cellular fibrous stroma
what is a peripheral giant cell lesion
pedunculated swelling which is dark red and ulcerated and often arises in interdental area with swellings on both buccal and lingual surfaces
what does a peripheral giant cell lesion show on histology
multi-nucleated osteoclast-like giant cells lying in a richly vascular and cellular stroma
fused macrophages make up the giant cells
what are peripheral giant cell lesions caused by
unphagocytosable material
what is a fibroepithelial polyp
firm, pink, painless, pedunculated swelling
what is a fibroepithelial polyp like on histology
dense
avascular
acellular fibrous tissue which resembles a scar with thick interlacing bundles of collagen
what is papillary hyperplasia
minor denture trauma with chronic candidiasis
pebbled palate
what is the histology of papillary hyperplasia
papillary projections with a core of hyperplastic, chronically inflamed granulation tissue
pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia
proliferation and branching of rete ridges into underlying connective tissue
what does drug induced fibrous overgrowth look like on histology
collagen fibres
chronic inflammatory cell infiltration
hyperplastic epithelium and long rete ridges
what are haemangiomas
tumours (hamartoma)
what is sturge weber syndrome
congenital disorder with combination of haemangiomatous lesions of the face over one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve with convulsions affecting limbs on opposite side of body
treatment for chronic hyperplastic candidosis
systemic fluconazole once daily 14 days
what type of leukoplakia has the highest malignant transformation
proliferative verrucous leukoplakia
what are the hallmarks of cancer
self sufficiency in growth signals
evading apoptosis
insensitivity to anti-growth signals
sustained angiogenesis
limitless replicative potential
tissue invasion and metastasis
what is histology of pleomorphic adenoma
duct epithelium
myoepithelial cells, myxoid and chondroid areas
what is the capsule like with pleomorphic adenoma
variable and may/may not be complete
what is histology of warthins tumour
cystic, distinctive epithelium and lymphoid tissue
2 types of malignant salivary carcinomas
adenoid cystic carcinoma
mucoepidermoid carcinoma
what is a cyst
pathological cavity having fluid, semi-fluid or gaseous contents and which is not created by the accumulation of pus
what are the characteristic signs of a cyst
mobility
numbness
increasing in size
discolouration
loss of vitality
swelling
absence of tooth
egg shell crackling
what radiographs would be taken for a cyst
PA
occlusal
OPT
then CBCT, PA mandible and occipitomental
where do odontogenic cysts occur
tooth bearing areas
what lines odontogenic cysts
epithelium
what are the sources of epithelium for odontogenic cysts
rests of malassez
rests of seres
reduced enamel epithelium
most common cysts
radicular cyst = 60%
dentigerous cyst = 18%
OKC = 12%
what type of cyst is a radicular cyst
inflammatory odontogenic
cause of radicular cyst
non-vital tooth and chronic inflammation and pulp necrosis
where are radicular cysts more common
maxilla
radiological appearance of radicular cysts
well defined corticated margins continuous with the lamina dura of a non-vital tooth
can displace structures and cause external root resorption
histology of radicular cysts including cells
epithelial lined with connective tissue capsule inside which is filled with inflammatory infiltrate
cells include mucous metaplasia, rushton bodies, cholesterol clefts
what are inflammatory collateral cysts and what are the 2 types
inflammatory odontogenic cysts associated with vital tooth
paradental cyst and buccal bifurcation cyst
