Fellowship MC Flashcards
Metastases to the jaws bypassing filtration through the lungs occurs via the ?
Batson plexus
Following chemotherapy for leukemia a patient has a recurrence. What region of the body may still harbor neoplastic cells for recurrence and why?
Recurrence may spread from the brain because the blood brain barrier is not crossed by traditional chemotherapy agents
Metastatic disease to the jaw is typically via ______ spread
hematogenous
Location (s) of cleft in paraneoplastic pemphigus
subepithelial or intraepithelial
Location (s) of cleft in mucous membrane pemphigoid
subepithelial
Antibodies against ? are implicated in paraneoplastic pemphigus
plakin family of desmosomal components including periplakin and envoplakin (also sometimes desmoglein 1 &3)
What internal malignancy(ies) are most commonly associated with paraneoplastic pemphigus?
CLL, lymphoma
What is bronchiolitis obliterans
sloughing occuring in the bronchioles that can obstruct the airway, listed as a clinical feature of paraneoplastic pemphigus
Location (s) of cleft in angina bullosa hemorrhagica
subepithelial
Location (s) of cleft in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
subepithelial
INheritance pattern of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita and autoantibodies implicated
Not inherited! (occurs in older adults)
autoantibodies to collagen type VII
Differentiate the DIF of MMP and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
MMP: IgG C3 on the “roof” of the bullous lesion aka on the epithelial side
EBA: IgG deposits on the CT side of the bulla where the type VII collagen is
Location (s) of cleft in fogo selvage
fogo selvage aka endemic pemphigus foliaceus
intraepithelial clefting (IgG/C3)
Common feature of acanthosis nigricans and Leser-Trelat sign
Gastrointestinal malignancy
Inheritance pattern of hereditary mucoepithelial dyspasia
autosomal dominant or sporadic
Inheritance pattern for incontinentia pigmenti
X-linked dominant so female predominant disease
Location (s) of cleft in warty dyskeratoma
suprabasilar cleft
what is Papyraceous healing and what population does it occur in?
“crumpled cigarette paper” look to the skin after it heals in Ehlers Danlos, occurs with minor injury
Conditions with premature loss of teeth
Sarcoidosis hypophosphatasia papillon-lefevre syndrome Ehlers Danlos Haim-Munk Dentin dysplasia type 1 Swift-feer disease (Acrodynia)
Amianthoid fibers are characteristic of
myofibroblastoma aka intranodal hemorrhagic spindle cell tumor with amianthoid fibers
“tissue culture-like” and “feathery” growth describe
nodular fasciitis
pattern-less round to spindle proliferation describes
solitary fibrous tumor
Short intersecting fascicles aka storiform pattern describes
fibrous histiocytoma
Nodular or multinodular (lobular) fibroblastic proliferation decribes
myofibroma
