- Mandibular pre-molars
Which versions of the human papilloma virus are shown to cause cancer?
HPV 16, 18
What pathology is associated with a “ground glass appearance” seen on a radiograph?
Fibrous dysplasia
What pathology is associated with a “cotton wool appearance” seen on a radiograph?
Paget’s disease of bone
Which medication is associated with intrinsic tooth staining?
Tetracyclines
What is the etiology of condyloma acuminatum?
HPV
Describe candidiasis.
- Opportunistic infection “yeast”
- White, wipeable “patch” with red base
- “Thrush” in newborns/infants
Describe median rhomboid glossitis.
- Red atrophy of FILIFORM papillae
- Midline tongue, junction of anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 at tuberculum impar
- Caused by chronic candidaisis
What pathology is associated with wandering transected nerve with scar tissue, which presents as a painful or tender lump or nodule?
Traumatic Neuroma
What pathology is similar in appearance to a pyogenic granuloma, but is often “liver-colored” and contains multinucleated giant cells?
Peripheral giant cell granuloma
What is the most common connective tissue tumor?
Fibroma
Describe Luekoplakia.
- White patch that does NOT wipe off
- Cytology smear does not help determine specific diagnosis - do biopsy
What type of luekoplakia is more likely to have severe dysplasia or worse and undergo malignant transformation to carcinoma?
Erythroplakia
Tx - incisional biopsy
What is the most common site of squamous cell carcinoma?
Mid-lateral border of the tongue
Where is the most common site for metastatic disease of the bone to show orally?
Posterior mandible - usually a lucency without sclerotic border
Describe monomorphic adenoma.
Most common found on upper lip
Asymptomatic, not a “mucocele” of the lower lip
What is luekodema?
Intracellular edema of cells, often seen in African Americans, to test for this - pull on buccal mucosa to see if it disappears or dissipates. - No Tx necessary
What is verrucous carcinoma?
“Snuffer’s cancer”
