Salivary Glands Flashcards
Extravasation of fluid into the surrounding tissue after s traumatic break into the continuity of minor salivary gland
Mucus extravasation cyst- mucocele
Common site of mucus extravasation cyst
Lower lip
Painless smooth surface may be bluish
Obstructed duct opening that cannot accomodate the exit of saliva produced leading to ductal dilation and surface swelling
Mucus retention cyst - mucocele
Ranula
Mucocele occuring floor of the mouth
Lateral to midline
Cervical ranula
Spilled nucin dissects through the myolohyoid muscle
Most common gland affected in ranula
Sublingual gland
Stone within the salivary gland
Sialolith
Sialolithiasis
Sialolith commonly occurs in
Submandibular gland
Locally destructive inflammatory condition of the SG, asymptomatic, necrotic, ulcerated area on the palate due to ischemia of minor SG, asa result of LA
Necrotizing sialometaplasia
Causative agent of mumps
Paramyxovirus
Benign asymptomatic enlargement of the SG or lacrimal gland commonly found in 50 yrs old females, infiltration of lymphocytes in myoepithelial islands
Mikulicz disease
Benign lymphoepithelial lesion
igG4 related disease
Autoimmune schronic systemic disorder results in xerostomia and keratoconjuctivitis sicca
Sjogrens syndrome
Secondary form of sjogrens syndrome
Xerostomia
Keratoconjuctivitis sicca
Autoimmune disorder - SLE rheumatoid arthritis
Sialography in sjogren syndrome
Fruit laden
Branch less
Cherry blossom appearance
Multi system disorder abnormal masses or nodules called granuloma in certain organs of the body, non tender smooth swelling if SG involved, bilateral parotid gland involved mimics sjogren syndrome
Sarcoidosis
