Oral Cavity Path II Flashcards
oral hairy leukoplakia
immunosuppression and EBV
lateral border of tongue
lateral tongue, white, doesn’t scrape
oral hairy leukoplakia
**do an HIV test
balloon cells
balloon cells
oral hairy leukoplakia
black hairy tongue
poor hygiene
-don’t scrape off and debride surface of tongue
tobacco, coffee, tea
rash with ampicilin
mononucleosis
monospot test
neurophile antibodies - for EBV
-mono test
other mono test
mix serum from patient with sheep/horse RBCs
- EBV - creates heterophile antibodies
- positive - agglutination of RBCs - clumping
mononucleosis
hyperemic mucosa - posterior pharynx
irritation fibroma
bite line - tongue or mucosa
-repetitive trauma
reactive fibroblast tissue
tx - surgical excision
pyogenic granuloma
gingiva, tongue
-pregnancy tumor
reactive granulation tissue
- benign inflammatory vascular lesion
- may bleed
common in young people
tx - surgical excision
pregnancy tumor
pyogenic granuloma
granulation tissue
cancer of oral cavity
95% SCC
5% adenocarcinoma of salivary glands
tobacco and alcohol
india - chew betel quid and paan
oral pharynx - type 16 HPV
posterior pharynx cancer
HPV - 16 and 18
anterior mouth cancer
tobacco
cells pass BM
metastasis
need biopsy to determine lesion is malignant
leukoplakia
white patch/plaque
-cannot be scraped off
due to increased keratin
hyperkeratosis
not premalignant change
bx needed
erythroplakia
red patch
- less common than leukoplakia but more ominous
- 90% dysplasia or CIS
highly vascular eroded mucosa
keratin peral
squamous cell carcinoma
oral SCC
80% are stage II/III with high rate of recurrence
stage 3 and 4 SCC
always radiation
CIS SCC of oral cavity
treated like stage 1 - primary surgery/ radiation
five hear survival stage 1/2 SCC
70-90%
-need careful follow up
increased risk of second head and neck cancer as well as lung ca
