Unit 3 - GI Lecture 2 Flashcards
What can cause hyperplastic/neoplastic lesions?
parapoxvirus infection and papillomavirus infection
What specifically does parapoxvirus cause?
bovine papular stomatitis and Orf (contagious ecthyma, sore mouth)
What does papillomavirus infection cause in the oral cavity?
viral induced oral papillomas
What species are commonly affected by parapoxvirus infection?
sheep, goats
What age is typically affected by parapoxvirus infection?
generally young animals
What clinical signs are associated with parapoxvirus infection?
pustular, crusting and proliferative lesions on the non-woolled/non-haired areas of the skin and occasionally in the mouth and esophagus
True or False: Parapoxvirus infection is not contagious
FALSE
What species are commonly affected with viral papillomas?
dogs and cattle
What age is typically affected with viral papillomas?
generally young animals
What clinical signs are associated with papillomavirus infection?
single to multiple cauliflower-like masses on the lips and gums
What is the outcome of papillomavirus infection?
spontaneously recover following the development of immunity
What are the differentials for oral mass-like lesions?
inflammatory, hyperplasia, neoplasia
How does inflammation lead to an oral-mass like lesion?
mass due to an influx of inflammatory cells and the production of granulation tissue or fibrosis
What is oral hyperplasoa often secondary to?
periodontal disease or malocclusion, certain drigs, genetic, viral induced
What benign neoplasms are commonly found in the oral cavity?
peripheral odontogenic fibroma and epulides
What malignant neoplasias are commonly found in the oral cavity?
squamous cell carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant melanoma, acanthomatous ameloblastoma
What clinical signs are associated with oral masses?
facial swelling, excessive salivation, anorexia, weight loss, dysphagia, halitosis, and masses
What is dysphagia?
difficulty in swallowing
How can puncture wounds lead to inflammatory masses?
puncture wounds cause a deep seeded bacterial infection which leads to an inflammatory mass
What signs are associated with infectious inflammatory lesions?
fever, inflammatory leukogram
What are some examples of oral masses due to hypersensitivity reactions?
canine and feline oral eosinophilic granulomas
What is wooden tongue caused by?
Actinobacillus lignieresii
What does Actinobacillus lignieresii cause?
pyogranulomatous to granulomatous inflammation
What are the causes of focal to multifocal gingival hyperplasia?
chronic irritation or viral infection
What are the causes of diffuse gingival hyperplasia?
drug administration or inherited
What is the prognosis if an animal has a peripheral odontogenic fibroma?
good - they are present on the gingiva and are easily excised by surgical excision
What are some gross indicators that an oral mass is more likely benign?
well-demarcated, surface not ulcerated, underlying bone non soft/lytic, adjacent teeth are not loose/absent
What oral masses are common in cats?
squamous cell carcinomas
What are the common sites of oral masses in cats?
tongue and gingiva
What are the common oral masses in dogs?
squamous cell carcinoma, dibrosarcoma, acanthomatous ameloblastoma, malignant melanoma
The oral and pharyngeal mucosa is the ___ most common site of malignant tumors in the dog?
4th
What are the common sites of canine and feline oral squamous cell carcinomas?
tonsils (dogs), gingiva, lips, tongue
Squamous cell carcinomas in the tonsils of the dog are extra nasty, nasty, or so-so?
extra nasty
What is the behavior of squamous cell carcinomas in the tonsils of dogs?
they are locally invasive and metastasize early and often
Squamous cell carcinomas in the tongues of dogs and cats are extra nasty, nasty, or so-so?
nasty
What is the behavior of squamous cell carcinomas in the tongues of dogs and cats?
locally invasive, frequently recur, regional lymph node metastasis is common (in the dog only)
Squamous cell carcinomas in the gingiva of the dog and cat are extra nasty, nasty, or so-so?
so-so
What is the behavior of squamous cell carcinomas in the gingiva of cats and dogs?
locally invasive, often invades bone, difficult to completely excise, frequent local recurrence (metastasis ranges from 5-10% in dogs, 13-28% in cats)
What gross indicators that an oral mass may be malignant?
poorly-demarcated, surface is ulcerated, underlying bone is soft/lytic, adjacent teeth are loose/abscent
