Oral Pathology Lesions

Front 1

monomorphic adenoma

Back 1

generic, group of benign salivary gland neoplasms with microscopic features different from pleomorphic adenoma.

Front 2

papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum

Back 2

warthin's tumor, arises in association with lymphoid tissue, almost all cases arise in the parotid gland, it is more common in older adults. Occurs bilateral in some cases

Front 3

mucocele

Back 3

mucosal enlargement, results from severing of a salivary duct, most common locations include lower lip, tongue, buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, may occur in any oral mucosal location containing salivary glands. Superficial lesions appear as raised, circumsribed, bluish, nonblanching, compressible enlargements

Front 4

ranula

Back 4

mucocele at the floor of the mouth, most commonly associated with sublingual gland ducts. Treatment usually involves removal of the involved gland, when gland removed, prognosis good

Front 5

sialolithiasis

Back 5

calcified deposit that is present in a salivary gland duct and which may obstruct the duct. May be caused by decreased salivary flow or increased viscosity of saliva. Sialolith is most common in association with submandibular gland

Front 6

sialadenitis:

Back 6

bacterial infection of salivary glands, often secondary to duct obstruction by sialolith, mucous plug, or xerostomia, may cause pain, swelling, lymphadenopathy, and sometimes fever

Front 7

sjogren's syndrome

Back 7

autoimminue disease in which patients form antibodies to their own salivary and lacrimal glands as well as to other exocrine glands. The result is inflammation and destruction of these glands. Primary sjogren's syndrome includes xerostomia and xerophthalmia.

Front 8

traumataic granuloma

Back 8

rapidly growing ulcer or persistent ulcer, often with soft tissue enlargement, usually nonpainful, most commonly on lip and tongue

Front 9

factitial injuries

Back 9

persistent, self-induced injuries which may be intentional or associated with habits. Habits may include chewing on the lip or chewing on the buccal mucosa. Itentional injuries usually have a psychological background

Front 10

ecchymosis secondary to trauma

Back 10

injury from trauma, lesions resolve without treatment in 7 to 10 days, single or multiple red areas, petechiae, or ecchymoses

Front 11

paget's disease of bone

Back 11

increased osteoclastic resorption, abnormal osteoblastic deposition of bone, increased vascularity of bone, continued bone formation resulting in decreased vascularity
