Q

67 year old Mdm Wong walks into your clinic complaining of pain and swelling in her jaw area. After taking Xrays, you suspect that she has ameloblastoma. What radiographic features on her X-ray led you to come up with this differential diagnosis?

The lesion was large, well-defined and multilocular.
Her teeth appear to be floating in the radiograph
There is asymmetric widening of PDL space and loss of laminate dura in her mandibular right posterior teeth.
There is a radioopaque lesion in her left mandible

A

The lesion was large, well-defined and multilocular.

18
Q

Ill-defined borders are usually associated with aggressive lesions & malignancies except?

Periapical cyst
Fibrous dysplasia
Ameloblastoma
Cemento-ossifying fibroma

A

Fibrous dysplasia

19
Q

Well-defined borders are typically characteristic of benign tumours. An exception for this rule is Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis, which is a malignant tumour presenting with well-defined borders as seen in the DPT provided. In such cases, what characteristic would help us differentiate this aggressive lesion from a benign one?

https://pasteboard.co/GXuQBsLvqzvk.png

Radiolucency
Mulitlocular
Non-corticated
Round shape

A

Non-corticated

20
Q

LESION mnemonic can be used to classify radiographic pathology. Which of the two categories are most crucial in determining whether a lesion is malignant or benign?

Internal contents and architecture (I) and number (N)
Edges (E) and effect on other structures (O)
Location (L) and edges (E)
Shape and size (S) and effect on other structures (E)

A

Edges (E) and effect on other structures (O)

21
Q

Which of the following lesions is this?

https://pasteboard.co/ThXIc4p0m2gD.png

Radicular Cyst
Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC)
Ameloblastoma
Odontoma

A

Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC)

22
Q

Which of the following statement is the wrong about the principle of readiographic interpretation?

Assymmetric widening of PDL space and loss of lamina dura can be a sign of malignancy.
Both benign and malignant tumours can produce calcifications as internal content.
Inflammatory lesion and malignant tumours usually have ill-defined boarders.
Lesion present at teeth bearing area or below IDN canal are usually from odontogenic origin.

A

Lesion present at teeth bearing area or below IDN canal are usually from odontogenic origin.

23
Q

Which of the following malignant pathologies does not have poorly defined borders radiographically?

26
Q

A 30 year old man presents with painless swelling of the jaw and complains that the swelling is causing his teeth to be crooked. Upon radiographic examination, the lesion has ill defined borders.

Fibrous Dysplasia
Ameloblastoma
Odontoma
Radicular Cyst

A

Fibrous Dysplasia

27
Q

Which of the following statements is not an accurate radiographic interpretation?

A lesion that has well defined borders must be corticated.
A multilocular radiolucent lesion is unlikely a cyst
A lesion with an epicenter above the IDN suggests it may have odontogenic origins
Ill defined borders suggests lesion is likely malignant

A

A lesion that has well defined borders must be corticated.

28
Q

Using the mnemonic LESION, which of the following is not congruent with typical radiographic features of a malignant lesion?

Edges: Corticated and well-defined borders
