Ages 55 to 75 men are two times as likely sunlight tobacco and alcohol use combination 15 times more likely to get oral cancer |
|
|
Leukoplakia |
White lesions possible precursor for cancer |
|
|
Erythroplakia |
Less common than leukoplakia but greater chance of becoming cancerous red lesion |
|
|
Oral cancer |
Coming back of the tongue loralette floor of mouth Common signs failure to heal(chronicity), erythroplakia, fixation, induration or loss of elasticity, leukoplakia, Lymphadenophathy or swollen lymph nodes, ulceration |
|
|
Labial or buccal mucosa |
vestibule muccobuccal fold frenum palpate cheek palpate maxillary tuberosity and retromolar pad |
|
|
pitikia |
small red lesion |
|
|
Salivary glands |
Parotid glands largestSubmandibular glands colon house sublingual or caruncles Sublingual glands; interior floor of mouth has no major ducks that open in multiple Miner Decks that open in line along with something will fold |
|
|
Notable salivary gland findings |
xerostomia swelling in floor of mouth from blocked ducts |
|
|
mucocele |
not dangerous trauma to salivary duct blisters will break and reform |
|
|
geographic and fissures toungue |
not dangerous |
|
|
Oropharynx |
Define as part of phynx between soft palate and upper edges of epiglottis observe color, size, petechiae, ulcers,growth, tonsils, uvula, anterior and posterior pillars. trauma say ahhh |
|
|
tonsillolith |
tonsil stones |
|
|
cryptic tonsils |
deposits of food and bacteria form in folds |
|
|

|
|
Location and distribution |
Anterior / posterior, thurso / ventral, lateral / medial, inferior / Superior, right / left / midline, separate /coalesing growing together, localized(one area)/ generalized(many areas) provide tooth number and location as reference |
|
|
Size |
Measure was probe, because I'd length, width, height, |
|
|
Papule |
Raised lesion |
|
|
Macule |
Flat lesion |
|
|
Color |
Erythroplakia, red means increased vascularity Leukoplakia, white means decreased vascularityBlue, increase melanin blood metalsYellow, lipid materials such as Fordyce granules |
|
|
Texture |
Rough surface, epithelium superficialSmooth surface, deepPapillary, small not relations are elevated projections Verrucous, rough, wart like, multiple |
|
|
Texture |
Crust hard outer layer, dried serum/exudateCratered, depressed in centerIndurated, harmless due to increased epithelial cells Well-defined are borders or irregular? |
|
|
Attachment and depth |
sessile: broad base wise as it is tall pedunculated: Narrow stalk like base superficial or deep check with palpatation. |
|
|
Consistency |
refers to the degree of firmness or density in tissue fluctuant=wave like motion soft=no fibrous tissue firm=fibrous tissue mobile=moves when palpate indurated=increased number of cells |
|
|
verrucous |
wart like multiple |
|
|
papillary |
small nodule or elevation |
|
|
sessile |
base is as wide as lesion is tall |
