Q

How do you tx aphthous ulcers ?

A

don’t usually treat, will go away on its own

22
Q

Enlarged, red, firm, uniform, not bleeding (unless it’s plaque related). Dx?

A

allergic gingivitis

most common cause in mouth = ARTIFICIAL cinnamon.

23
Q

White, verrucous, pedunculated, cauliflower-like. benign. pressure test on the red lesions, if blanches = benign blood vessel lesion (could also be varicosity or hemangioma but in this case its papilloma), malignant ones don’t blanch.

A

papilloma

etiology = HPV.

24
Q

Young child, multiple, usually pink (sometimes white), slightly elevated lesions, on buccal mucosa, tongue, and lip. dx is ?

A

Heck’s disease/focal epithelial hyperplasia

is an HPV lesion. almost always in children, all over mouth, not painful, will heal by themselves but it takes a long time, benign, no tx needed

25
Q

Single, small, is flat, uniformly pigmented, well circumscribed, in anywhere, freckle in mouth. dx is ?

A

focal melanotic macule

do biopsy

26
Q

Elevated and usually on skin. pigmented, small, one, elevated, uniform, circumscribed, non-ulcerated

A

Nevus

27
Q

Generalized,multiple, white, irregular, elevated, verrucous, old patient, disease of old people, 80% will be cancerous (pre-malignant). What is it?

A

proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL)

28
Q

What is the tx of Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia?

A

tx = remove the lesion, but usually comes back. most patients likely will get SCC.

29
Q

Crown prep the day before. injected anesthesia with epi. today, painful, ulceration, on hard palate, after dental treatment. What is dx?

A

necrotizing sialometaplasia

due to epi b/c of vasoconstriction of blood vessels. tx = none needed b/c will heal by itself. can do biopsy if unsure

30
Q

Blistering conditions. autoimmune, bilateral, buccal mucosa. What do you do?

A

do biopsy = one in formalin solution and one in mischel solution. immunofluorescence

31
Q

Blistering condition, biopsy in formalin, epithelium destroyed, autoimmune, more common in females. antibodies against DESMOSOMES. blisters are INTRA-epithelium (+). Dx is?

A

pemphigus vulgaris

32
Q

Sessile, covered by normal mucosa, on cheek. dx is ?

A

traumatic fibroma

most common diagnosis

33
Q

Appears as long hair on tongue, can be white or brown. Dx is?

A

hairy leukoplakia

etiology = EBV. condition of HIV/immunocompromised patients.

34
Q

Baby with mass on alveolar ridge, newborn, growth on gingiva. dx is ?

A

congenital epulis/epulis of the newborn

tx = will go away by itself, but remove via excision b/c parents

35
Q

Pressure test is positive, baby born with irregular, red mark on face, congenital. Dx is?

A

hemangioma

It’s a benign tumor of blood vessels.

36
Q

Antibodies against HEMIDESMOSOMES (34) on basement membrane. SUB-epithelial vesicle (+). Dx is?

A

pemphigoid

37
Q

RED/erythematous. most commonly in floor of mouth, not usually painful, old people. do biopsy (if not hemangioma or trauma). hyperchromatic cells, diff shapes, looks malignant, but only within epithelium/no vessels/ no metastasis if left untreated becomes invasive via blood or lymphatic vessels (not yet broken basement membrane to CT), old people.

A

carcinoma in situ.

38
Q

Etiology = HPV, radiation, chemicals, tobacco, alcohol, genetics. if metastasizes, it travels through lymph vessels, first on unilateral side, later to contralateral side. most common location for SCC = lateral border of tongue. (answer most likely all the above) (mentioned genetics is most important) (37).

A

SCC.

39
Q

Old patient, blurring of vermillion border, produced by the SUN, diffuse, ulceration, scar, crater. dx is ?

A

actinic cheilitis

40
Q

Not inside mouth, produced by sun, crater-like ulcer, rarely metastasizes, UV radiation is a risk factor

A

basal cell carcinoma

All is true regarding basal cell carcinoma EXCEPT: answer would be “inside the mouth” (since it’s false) (39)

41
Q

Hyperchromatism (appear black), Pleomorphism, Keratin pearls , Alteration, Cytoplasm­:Nucleus ratio, Atypical mitosis, Dyskeratosis, Disorganization of cells, Lack of cohesiveness. This is histology of what?

A

Squamous cell carcinoma

42
Q

Not uniform, not flat, no hair, satellite lesions, different colors, irregular borders, ulcerations, may not always be pigmented (variation of colors), may arise from a previous nevus. most common place on palate. prognosis worse in mouth than skin. also, prognosis is worse going posteriorly. vertical growth indicator of aggressiveness and malignancy.

A

melanoma

43
Q

Most common salivary gland tumor in KIDS, most commonly inside bone, most common malignant salivary gland tumor, ulcerated.

A

mucoepidermoid carcinoma

44
Q
  1. Most common of all salivary gland tumor is what?
A

pleomorphic adenoma/mixed tumor

malignancy: sublingual = 99% (43), submandibular = 60%, palate = 50%, parotid = 30%. no salivary gland tumor in gingiva or in midline of palate. benign tumors of salivary gland are less benign than any other benign tumor. cancer of salivary gland tumors are less aggressive than other cancers

45
Q

Where are salivary glands NOT found?

A

NO SALIVARY GLAND TUMORS IN GINGIVA or midline of palate (44). gingiva doesn’t have salivary glands

46
Q

Patient with lots of tissue coming out from under denture. usually due to ill-fitting denture. can also be associated with fungus and palatal papillomatosis as well.

A

What are the 3 P’s of red lesions?

A
  1. pyogenic granuloma
  2. peripheral ossifying fibroma
