Oral Masses Flashcards
The most common oral tumors in dogs are what?
Malignant melanoma, squamous cell sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and acanthomatous ameloblastoma; The most common oral tumors in dogs are malignant melanoma, squamous cell sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and acanthomatous ameloblastoma.
Based on a large necropsy study from 1979, what percentage of malignant melanoma, squamous cell sarcoma, and fibrosarcoma have metastasized to or beyond the regional lymph nodes?
malignant melanoma - 81%
squamous cell sarcoma - 82%
fibrosarcoma - 35%.
Other study has shown the % of SCC to be about 20%
Acanthomatous ameloblastoma arise from what tissue layer?
Odontogenic epithelium; Acanthomatous ameloblastoma arise from odontogenic epithelium.
Fibromatous epulis arise from what tissue layer?
Periodontal ligament. Fibromatous epulis arise from the periodontal ligament (called Fibromatous epulis of the periodontal ligament).
Ossifying epulides arise from what tissue layer?
Unclear; The origin of ossifying epulides is currently unclear.
Fibromatous epulis of the periodontal ligament and Ossifying epulides often occur in what region of the mouth?
Premaxillary region; Fibromatous epulis of the periodontal ligament and Ossifying epulides often occur in the premaxillary region?
Acanthomatous ameloblastoma often occur in what region of the mouth?
Rostral maxilla or mandible; Acanthomatous ameloblastoma often occur in the rostral maxilla or mandible.
Malignant melanoma, squamous cell sarcoma, and fibrosarcoma usually arise from what tissue in the mouth?
Gingiva; Malignant melanoma, squamous cell sarcoma, and fibrosarcoma usually arise from the gingiva.
Fibrosarcomas often arise in the mouth near which tooth?
Carnassial tooth; Fibrosarcomas often arise in the mouth near the carnassial tooth.
The canine oral cavity drains to which lymph nodes?
Mandibular, parotid, and medial retropharyngeal lymph nodes; The canine oral cavity drains to the mandibular, parotid, and medial retropharyngeal lymph nodes.
What percentage of tumors arising from the gingiva cause radiographically apparent bone loss?
60-80%; Between 60-80 percent of tumors arising from the gingiva cause radiographically apparent bone loss?
The sensitivity and specificity of lymph node size for predicting cytologic or histologic presence of metastasis are what percentage, respectively?
70% and 51%; The sensitivity and specificity of lymph node size for predicting cytologic or histologic presence of metastasis are 70% AND 51%, respectively.
The mandibular incisor region can be blocked by injecting what structure at what location?
Mandibular nerve just rostral to the mental foramen at the level of the second premolar tooth will block the mandibular incisor region.
The entire mandible can be blocked by injecting what structure at what location?
Mandibular nerve near the mandibular foramen found on the medial side of mandible near angle of the mandible.
The rostral maxilla can be blocked by injecting what structure at what location?
Infraorbital nerve as it exits the infraorbital foramen dorsal to the rostral aspect of the fourth upper premolar.
The entire maxilla can be blocked by injecting what structure at what location?
Maxillary nerve rostral to the ramus and below the ventral border of the zygomatic arch just caudal to the lateral canthus of the eye.
What vessel must be identified and ligated or cauterized during mandibulectomy?
Mandibular alveolar artery; The mandibular alveolar artery must be identified and ligated or cauterized during mandibulectomy?
