Infective Stomatitis - Viral Flashcards
Human papilloma viruses (HPV) are what type of viruses?
DNA
- over 100 types
Describe the presentation of a Papilloma
Virus-induced benign proliferation of stratified squamous epithelium.
- White/red/normal color “cauliflower” shaped exophytic nodule, sessile or pedunculated.
- Usually small, but can be as large as 3 cm
Papilloma is usually what HPV subtypes?
6 & 11
What age group does a Papilloma usually target
Age 30 to 50 years
What location is Papilloma commonly found
Tongue, lips,»_space; soft palate
Verruca vulgaris is usually what HPV subtypes
*2, 4, 6, 40
Describe the presentation of Verruca vulgaris
“common wart”
Pink/white nodule with rough, pebbly surface
Usually less than 5mm
What age group does Verruca vulgaris usually target
Children
What location is Verruca vulgaris commonly found
Usually on skin of hands
- Oral mucosa: vermillion border, labial mucosa, anterior tongue
Histologic features of verruca vulgaris
Well defined papillary growth with KOILOCYTES (enlarged cells with cytoplasmic clearing)
- Large keratohyaline granules
How does Verruca vulgaris spread?
Contagious
Can spread to other parts of skin or mucosa by autoinoculation
Treatment of Verruca vulgaris
Liquid nitrogen
cryotherapy/surgical excision/salicylic acid
Condyloma acuminatum is usually what HPV subtypes
2, *6, *11, 53, 54, 16, 18
What age does Condyloma acuminatum usually target
Teenagers and young adults
What location is Condyloma acuminatum commonly found?
Affects oral mucosa, larynx, genitalia
Oral mucosa: labial mucosa, soft palate, lingual frenum
How is Condyloma acuminatum spread?
Transmitted through sexual transmission or self-inoculation
- Incubation of 1 to 3 months from time of sexual contact
How does Condyloma acuminatum present?
Pink to white exophytic mass with short, blunted surface projections.
- 1 to 1.5 cm, can be as large as 3 cm.
- Often occurs in clusters and not quite as exophytic and papillary as papillomas or vurruca
Focal epithelial hyperplasia is usually what HPV subtypes?
13 and 32
- Also known as Heck’s disease
How does focal epithelial hyperplasia present?
Multiple soft, flattened papules clustered together
What age group is Focal epithelial hyperplasia most common?
In children often malnourished and in poor living conditions
- 1st described in Native Americans and Eskimos
Describe the location where Focal epithelial hyperplasia is most commonly found
Labial, buccal and lingual mucosa
Histologic features of Focal epithelial hyperplasia
Koilocytes and mitosoid cells
How is HPV identified?
Biopsy & Histologic examination
- HPV identified by DNA in situ hybridization, immunohistochemical analysis and PCR
Describe the interaction between HPV and cancer
Only some types, especially *16, *18, 6, 11, 30s, 50s
- causes cervical cancer and most oropharyngeal cancer
- 25 years ago, 20-25% of throat cancer was HPV, today it’s 75%
