Oral Pathology 2 Flashcards
What is the most common developmental non-odontogenic cyst and how does it present radiographically?
- Incisive canal cyst (Nasopalatine duct cyst)
- often heart shaped lucency between 2 max central incisors
What is white sponge nevus?
- Genodermatosis (autosomal dominant)
- Bilateral buccal mucosa, white folds of tissue with no eye involvement
Where do cleft palates usually take place?
- Between lateral incisors and canines
Describe actinic cheilitis.
- Lip’s vermillion becomes indistinct
- Potential for dysplasia to undergo malignant tranformation into SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA = pre-malignant
Describe cheilitis glandularis.
- Mucous minor salivary glands of lips are inflamed
- Premalignant condition -> SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
What are some key characteristics of Oral Hairy Leukoplakia?
- White, rough plaque on lateral border of tongue (most common site)
- Seen in HIV patients progressing to AIDS
- Caused by Epstein-Barr virus
What is seen with mutlifocal periapical lucencies which mature over time, become mixed lucent/opaque and finally opaque lesions towards the anterior mandible?
- Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia
- - teeth are VITAL
How does florid osseous dysplasia differ from periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia?
- Mutli-quadrant, fibro-osseous intrabony lesions, no treatment necessary.
Which pathology is associated with Wickam’s striae and what is it?
Lichen Planus
- Purple, polygonal, pruritic papules (skin)
- White papules that do not wipe off, most commonly seen in buccal mucosa
Can be reticular, cutaneous, hyperplastic or even erosive
What is a soft tissue lesions that is not in bone, but makes osteoid/bone?
Peripheral ossifying fibroma
What pathology is associated with multiple unerupted supernumerary teeth, retention of primary teeth, missing clavicles, frontal bossing and a large head?
Cleidocranial dysplasia
What disease shows multiple neurofibromas of the skin and oral cavity with cafe au lait pigmentation?
Neurofibromatosis, type 1 (von Recklinghausen’s disease of skin)
What pathology shows a histology of ghost cells and calcifications?
Calcifying odontogenic cyst (Gorlin Cyst)
What presents as red, inflamed minor salivary gland ducts with background of luekoplakia change?
Nicotine Stomatitis
What is auriculotemporal syndrome (frey syndrome)?
- Presents after parotid glad surgery
- sweating of unilateral facial skin prior to eating, affects cranial nerve V
Why do you always want to aspirate before biopsing lesions?
Always in anterior maxillary/mandibular radiolucency prior to biopsy to rule out vascular nature.
What lesions presents with sulfur granules and has multiple draining fistulas?
Actinomycosis
Which way will the chin deviate upon closing, in a patient with condylar hyperplasia?
Chin deviates AWAY from affected side
