- kidney - glomerulonephritis
Ludwig’s angina
- submandibular space infection
- can cause blockage of breathing.
- can kill you b/c the infection goes down retropharyngeal space.
Scarlet Fever
- white coating of tongue that sloughs off and leaves deep red surface with swollen hyperplastic fungiform papillae
Fordyce Granules
- ectopic sebaceous glands
- yellow papules
- bilateral
- lips and buccal mucosa
- 80-90% of caucasians in America have them.
Turner Tooth
- Something causes this succadenous tooth to come out malformed.
- It may be b/c of carious primary tooth or infected.
- Mandibular PM is the most common involved tooth b/c mandibular primary 1 M tooth has most common caries.
Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis
- found on moveable mucosa
- recurrent with NOT VESICLE PRECEDING
- associated with Human Lymphocyte Antigens (HLA) types
- Tx corticosteroids
- Three types: herpetiform (many small), minor and major (>1cm)

Pyogenic Granuloma
- occurs at any age, pregnancy
- Just granulomatous tissue
- Could be from trauma.
- bleeds readily, exophytic (grows outwards), non-painful, grows quickly
- No nerves in there
- Interdental papillae are most common site b/c things get stuck there, overhangs, etc.
Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma
- often “Liver colored” (brownish purple)
- histology - multinucleated giant cells
- limited to alveolar ridge/gingiva
- usually anterior to first molar region
Central Giant Cell Granuloma

- classically a multi-locular RL
Squamous Papilloma
- benign proliferating lesion induced by HPV
- white to pink
- rough surface (cauliflower)
- elevated lesion
Fibroma
- most common CT tumor
- Reactive not true tumor
- Firm, smooth, pink elevated papule/nodule
Granular Cell Tumor
- Dorsum of tongue #1 site
- nodule with smooth or papillated surface
- granular cells - cytoplasm
- psuedoepitheliomatous hyperplasia - aka looks like cancer
- LYSOSOMES
Leukoplakia
- white patch that does not wipe off
- cytology smear doesnt help determine
- incisional biopsy
- tongue and FOM more dangerous sites
Erythroplakia
- red plaque that does not wipe off
- likely to have severe dysplasia and become malignant
- incisional biopsy
Squamous cell carcinoma
- Most common malignancy in oral cavity
- Lower lip can be preceded by actinic cheilitis
- REDor WHITE, firm, irregular, indurated ulcer, painless
- submental node most common lymph node
- mid-lateral border of tongue and FOM
- staging (spread), grade (differentiation)
- alveolar ridge appears poorly defined lucencies without reactive sclerotic border
- p53 tumor gene
Metastatic Disease of the Jaw
- most common site - posterior mandible
- does not cause a shift in occlusion
- usually a poorly defined lucency without sclerotic border
- prostate cancer most common
Monomorphic adenoma
- Canalicular adenoma another name
- upper lip most common
- old adult females
- Firm and asymptomatic
- maybe multinodular
- rare on the lower lip.
- NEVER answer MUCOCELE for upper lip bump.
Leukoedema
- intracellular edema of cells
- AA most common
- bilateral on buccal mucosa most common
- pull on buccall mucosa -> disappears or dissipates
Leukemia
- red, swollen, boggy, bleeding gingiva with ulcers
- get lab tests: CBC, WBC; see decrease in neutrophils and platalets
- Red macules on skin

ameloblastic fibroma
- more common in the first and second decades of life
- most often in posterior mandible
- In 50% of cases an unerupted tooth is involved
- slight to no pain, swelling; not aggressive
- unilocular lesions, occasionally multilocular when larger, with smooth well-demarcated borders.
