Macule
A large palpable mass, elevated above the epithelial surface
Nodule
A small palpable mass, elevated above the epithelial surface
Papule
A flat but elevated lesion
Plaque
A cloudy or white vesicle filled with pus
Pustule
A macroscopic accumulation of keratin
Scale
A loss of epithelium
Ulcer
A small loculation of fluid in or under the epithelium; a small blister
Vesicle
Any lesion that persists for _____ weeks with no apparent etiologic basis is a _________
2 weeks
Indication for biopsy
Any inflammatory lesion that does not respond to local Tx with _____ days is basis for a Biopsy
10-14 days
Persistent ______ changes in superficial tissue is an indication for Biopsy
hyperkeratotic
Any persistent _________ is an indication for Biopsy
tumescence (swelling)
________ Inflammatory changes of _______ is an indication for Biopsy
Persistent
unknown cause
Lesions that interfere with _________ is an indication for Biopsy
local function
Any lesion that has characteristics of ________ is an indication for Biopsy
Malignancy
7 Indications for Biopsy:
2 week lesion w/out etiologic basis
10-14 day non-responsive inflammatory lesion
Persistent superficial hyperkeratosis
Persistent tumescence
Inflammatory changes of unknown causes that persist
Lesions interfering with Local Function
Looks like Malignancy
7 things that may indicate Malignancy:
Erythroplasia (red/speckled red/white)
Ulceration
Duration longer than 2 weeks
Rapid growth
Bleeding
Induration - (loss of pliability)
Fixation - feels attached to adjacent structures
4 types of Biopsy:

Aspiration
Incisional
Excisional
Cytology was first used as a _______
Some studies find high _______
Must be examined by ________
pap smear
false negatives
pathologist
What is the prime indication for Cytology biopsy?
Large areas of mucosal change monitored for Dysplasia
An Aspiration Biopsy must be done on what prior to surgical intervention?
Any Radiolucency
*could by high flow vascular lesion
A Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy is indicated in the Tx of solitary ______ masses suspected to represent a tumor
___ gauge or smaller needle is used
Parotid
21
An Incisional Biopsy samples what part of a lesion?
Representative
3 Reasons to do an Incisional Biopsy:
over 1 cm/close proximity to vital anatomic structures
Difficult to excise
Suspicion of Malignancy
Shape of an Incisional Biopsy:
Include:
Do what for the pathologist?
Wedge
normal tissue at edges
orient
T/F
Incisional Biopsy should by broad and shallow
False
**narrow and deep enough to go all the way through the structure
An Excisional Biopsy should be done only in what cases?
Good for what size lesions?
Malignancy NOT expected
1 cm or less
Biopsy Technique should use regional _____ and use _____ incisions
field blocks
sharp
