L13 - Biopsy of hard and soft tissue Flashcards
outline excisional biopsy
border
elliptical incision with length of the incision around 3x
undermining tissue layers for tension free closure
wedge biopsy (basically an elliptical biopsy with 3rd dimension of depth)
local anatomy consideration in planning biopsy
marking margins of specimen
if incisional biopsy
elliptical incision technique
location of biopsy crucial to obtain diagnostic information
in general of ulcer
biopsy
- incisional
biopsy periphery of ulcer at the margin of normal and abnormal tissue
in general of solid tumor mass
biopsy
incisional biopsy
- biopsy CENTER of solid tumor mass staying away from margin of lesion
basic instrumentation
scissors - used for sharp and blunt dissection
tissue holding forceps
claps-hemostats
electrocautery
when to perform a soft tissue biopsy
1-5
- ulceration that fails to heal despite removal of irritant
- extraction socket that does not heal despite more then adequate time
- tissue that fails to respond to adequate routine dental hygeine measures
- persistent red / white disease
- unexplained pigmented lesions which do not blanch on pressure
3 examples of specialized common soft tissues biopsies
- marsupialization for ranula
- lips- lining up cutaneous-vermilion border
- vesicullo-bullous lesion
vesicullo- bullous lesion
- periphery of ulcer
- consider uninvolved or attached gingival sites to biopsy
- special storage media for specimen
what not to biopsy
- geographic tongue
- fordyce granules
- the occasional apthous ulcer
- median rhomboid glossitis
- recurrent intra-oral herpetic lesions
when to consider biopsy of boney lesions
- parasthesia
- unusual unexplained root resorption
- unexplained tooth displacement
- atypical / asymmetric marrow pattern
block resection for radiolucent
for large aggressive lesions
marginal resection for radiolucent
consider with multilocular or more aggressive odontogenic lesions
pathology diagnosis starts with ..?
patient history and a good exam
what type removes the whole thing
excisional biopsy
surorund with normal border of tissue
biopsy what with ulcer
the peripheray of it not the center
incisional biopsy - general
taking a little bit
relatively narrow and relatively deep
desirable shape for incisional biopsy
deep and narrow
NOT broad and shallow
basic biopsy intrusments
hemostat and currette
diagram of excisional biopsy
elliptical for closure
below submucosal layer
suture closed primarily
circular incsision?
NO – cant close
length and width of excisional biopsy
roughly 3x longer than it is wide
fluid filled lesion - history of trauma
been there for awhule
mucocele
elliptical incision
going beyond where lesion is
separate from underlying muscle layer
remove additional minor salivary gland tissue?
yes – because mucocele has potential to come back
