Squamous Papilloma

verruca vulgaris/wart of nasal vestibule

Sinonasal (Schneiderian) Papillomas *3 types*

Uncommon, Benign neoplasms (but locally destructive)


1. Exophytic (septal,squamous) ~50-60%


2. Inverted (lateral,squamous) ~40-50%


3. Oncocytic (lateral,cylindrical/columnar) ~5-10%

Exophytic Sinonasal Papilloma (Septal, Squamous, Fungiform)

- Occurson septalnasal wall
 - Rarely (almost never) developsinvasive carcinoma     
- Looks like fingers off the septum

- Occurs on septal nasal wall


- Rarely (almost never) develops into invasive carcinoma


- Looks like fingers off the septum

Inverted Sinonasal Papilloma

- Occurson lateralnasalwall near middle turbinate  
- 5-10%develop invasive carcinoma within 5years

- Occurs on lateral nasal wall near middle turbinate


- 5-10% develop invasive carcinoma within 5 years

Oncocytic Sinonasal Papilloma (Cylindrical, Columnar)

- Occuron Lateral nasalwall near middle turbinate  
- No assx w/ HPV

3. Laryngopharynx




*NK = “non-keratinizing” (no cornified layer)

Lymphoid structures in the Upper “Airway”

- "Waldeyer'sring" (left) - which includes Palatine tonsils
- Lymphocytes in the lamina propria (Submucosal dense lymphoid aggregates)

What will obstruction of the internal auditory canal in the Nasopharynx cause?




What about in the upper airway?

Recurrent otitis media --> hypertrophicadenoidal tissue --> Obstruction ofthe internal auditory canal




Obstruction inupper airway --> Sleep apnea

1. Keratinizing - squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC)


2. Nonkeratinizing- squamous cell carcinoma3. Undifferentiated/basaloid carcinoma,with lymphoid component*

What is "Pharynx –Oropharynx". What occurs here?

Not really part of airway; represents posterior portion of oral cavity




- this is where Acute Pharyngitis “Beefy Red” & Acute Tonsillitis hits . In either, think Adenovirus [ds-DNA]. Viral infections by far most common cause of AP

Group A Streptococcus (GAS)

- 10-20% of pharyngitis ages 5-15 yrs


- Rare in adults


- Incidence peaks winter-early spring


- Sore throat + fever


- Absence of cough, coryza, hoarseness, conjunctivitis •(these suggest a virus)


- Tender anterior cervical lymph nodes


- Tonsils are enlarged, erythematous and have patchy exudate (follicular tonsillitis)

Fusobacterium necrophorum

 - ~10% of acute pharyngitis cases 
- >20% in recurring cases and in peritonsillar
abscesses

vein with thrombophlebitis (Lemierre syndrome)

gene

diphtheria 
 - Gene encoded
within a lysogenic bacteriophage 






- Diphtheria
- Production
of pseudomembrane

- Only strains carrying toxgenecausediphtheria

- Diphtheria


- Productionof pseudomembrane

ViralPharyngitis

- Rhinoviruses(~20%) - Indirectpharyngitis.


- Adenoviruses - Cancause pharyngoconjunctivalfever (fever,sore throat, conjunctivitis).


- EBV - Infectious mononucleosis mainlyin 15-25 yr-oldage group, Monospottest for heterophile antibodies.


- HSV types I and 2- Gingivitis, stomatitis and pharyngitis, vesicles inpharyngeal mucosa


- Influenza - Pharyngitis


- Parainfluenza andcoronaviruses- pharyngitis aspart of common cold syndrome


- Enteroviruses(certain coxsackieand echovirus)-pharyngitis secondaryto upper GI infection and then dissemination

• MC cause of inspiratory stridor (laryngealor supraglottic obstruction)in children


• Oftenassociated with seal-like barking


Cause - Mainlyparainfluenza (paramyxovirus)


Steeple sign – subglottic narrowing


• Pathogenesis = Infx via aerosol into nasopharynxand spread to larynx and trachea•Edemaand inflammation in subglottic larynx and trachea around cricoid cartilage –airway narrowing. May haveendothelialdamage and loss of ciliaryfunction. Fibrinous exudate may beformed andaddto airway occlusion•Edemaof vocal cords can cause hoarseness


Treatment = Supportivewith short termsteroids to reduceinflammation.
