22
Q

risk of which cancer with SS

A

lymphoma - MALT associated most common

23
Q

3 components to diagnosing SS

A

symptoms, clinical signs, evidence of immune system disturbed

24
Q

what type of scan used for salivary glands

A

unltrasound

doppler detect changes in pattern of blood flow

25
Q

antibodies present in primary SS

A

anti-Ro + La

26
Q

ways to manage dry mouth

A

good OH
stay hydrated
less sugar/coffee/alcohol
limit drug use
replacement - oralube/xerostom/biotene/water
immuno-modulatory - ciclosporins
stimulant - pilocarpine or cevimeline, sugar freee gum, lozenges, mint

also reinforce good OH

27
Q

roles of saliva

A 
mechanical washing
anti-microbial activities
remineralised of dental tissues
buffer
lubrication - mucin
limited digestion - amylase
28
Q

dry mouth problems

A 
discomfort
ulceration
gum disase
infections - fungal, ascending salivary gland infections
poor denture retention
alternated taste sensation
speech + swallowing difficulties
29
Q

most common salivary gland to suffer from malignancy

A

parotid

30
Q

most common benign salivary gland tumour

A

pleomorphic adenoma

31
Q

4 malignant epithelial salivary gland tumours

adenocarcinoma

32
Q

where does warthin tumour present

A

parotid only

33
Q

type of epithelial cells on salivary glands

treatment for pleomorphic adenoma

A

superficial parotidectomy, extracapsular dissection

37
Q

42
Q

histopathological features of warthins tumour

A

encapsulated, papillary structure form cystic spaces, gelatinous contents, lined by oncocytic ep

43
Q

features of basal cell adenoma

A

made of back to back ducts - no chondromyxoid matrix

44
Q

features of canalicular adenoma

A

canal like systems of ep cells

decompressed bag of jelly when excised

45
Q

clinical presentation of malignancy salivary gland neoplasms

A 
firm fixed lump
poorly demarcated
rapid growth
painless first, pain at later stage 
skin/mucosal ulceration
face palsy if affecting nerve
bone invasion
46

  2. plain radiography - FOM occlusal
  3. ultrasound
  4. sialography
  5. CT/MRI
50
Q
