Oral Pathology and Maxillofacial Medicine Lecture Notes

Flashcards covering oral pathologies, including cysts, tumors, and bone diseases mentioned in the lecture transcript.

Fordyce granules

Could be considered to be a choristoma.

Traumatic neuroma

Commonly caused by the administration of local anesthetic.

Neuroma indicator

Pain upon palpation is considered an indicator.

The most common location is the gingivia.

Denture hyperplasia management

The major point to remember is to make a new denture.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma confusion

It is often confused with the pyogenic granuloma.

Sarcoidosis (Sex prevalence)

The statement that men are affected more often than females is NOT true.

Sarcoidosis (Healthcare provider)

A dermatologist is the most common health care provider who would diagnose and treat it.

Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) encapsulation

It is an encapsulated tumor (it is false that it is nonencapsulated).

Acoustic neurilemmoma

A condition that affects the eighth nerve.

Neurilemmoma location

The most common location for this tumor is the tongue.

Rhabdomyosarcoma

The most common soft tissue sarcmoa in children.

Lipoma malignant counterpart

True, there is a malignant counterpart to the lipoma.

Bell palsy

Characteristics of this condition may occur when salivary glands are removed.

Frey syndroe

A key characteristic of this syndrome involves extreme sweating.

Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum

The second most common benign parotid gland tumor.

Salivary gland malignancy in children

Adenocarcinoma is the most common salivary gland malignancy in children.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

The most common malignant salivary gland neoplasm.

Acinic cell carcinoma origin

Malignant cells that originate from serous cells.

Neurofibromatosis characteristics

Increased in height and bone is NOT a characteristic of this condition.

Dermoid cyst location

The most likely place to find this is the floor of the mouth.

Posterior dorsal tongue lesion warning

In a patient suspected of having a thyroglossal tract cyst, a lesion on the posterior dorsal tongue should not be removed because the growth may be thyroid issue.

Vascular malformation

Could be considered a hamartoma.

Fibroma

The most common tumor found in the oral cavity.

Mandibuar tori and torus palatinus etiology

The most accepted theory for development is genetic predisposition.

Solitary exostosis etiology

Believed to be caused by occlusal forces.

Neoperiostosis

The laying of bone on the surface of cortical bone.

Chrondrosarcoma patient symptoms

A very salty taste is the complaint you would least expect to hear or see from the patient.

Osteosarcoma (signs and location)

One of the earliest signs may be widening of the periodontal ligament, and the mandible is the most often affected location.

Ameloblastoma characteristics

A slow-growing, locally aggressive tumor that is unencapsulated.

CEOT location

Found more often in the mandible.

Hyaline

The calcified material that is found in the CEOT.

Ossifying fibroma characteristic

It is expansile.

Ewing sarcoma age group

Found most frequently in children under 20 years of age.

Pindborg tumorp

Another name for CEOT (calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor).

Ameloblastoma histology

Identified by the microscopic presence of palisading columnar cells.

Central giant cell granuloma

Characteristics include bone expansion, blue-gray hue, and being found anterior to molars.

Chrondrosarcoma

A malignant tumor of cartilage.

Subpontic osseus proliferation

Occurs in edentulous areas.

Liesegang rings

Expected to be found in calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT).

Ewing sarcoma prevalence

The second leading malignant bone tumor in children.

Focal or condensing osteomyelitis

Presents as an inflammatory reaction.

Osteomyelitis definition

A general term that refers to inflammation of bone.

Diffuse sclerosing

Term meaning a mixed radiolucent and radiopaque entity.

Diffuse Osteomyelitis

Involves a low grade inflammatory reaction caused by an infection with increased bacteria; usually found in the angle of the mandible.

Cementoblastoma location

Most commonly found in the posterior mandibular teeth.

Cementoblastoma ankylosis

Defined as the engulfing of the root of the tooth by calcified mass.

Cementoblastoma tooth vitality

The tooth root of a cementoblastoma is vital.

Cementoblastoma type

A neoplasm that is benign.

Odontoma

Considered a hamartoma and the most common odontogenic tumor.

Gardner Syndrome hallmarks

Also known as familial colorectal polyposis; its hallmark is osteomas.

Osteopetrosis factor

The primary factor involved is reduced osteoclast activity; also known as marble bone disease.

Radicular cyst vs. Periapical granuloma

A distinct difference is that the radicular cyst has an epithelial lining.

Radicular cyst prevalence

The most commonly occuring cyst found in the oral cavity.

Residual cyst

The result of incomplete removal of a radicular cyst.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (primary)

Found to result from oncogenic activation of a gene on a chromosome.

Bruit

A purring sound.

Simple bone cyst (bloodless defect)

A surgeon will usually curettage the area to stimulate blood production if the defect is devoid of blood.

Florid cementoosseous dysplasia

The category of cementoosseous dysplasia noted for a 'ground-glass' appearance.

Chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis

The term used when observations of osteomyelitis are made on a radiograph.

Botryoid odontogenic cyst recurrence

Essential to distinguish from a lateral periodontal cyst because it has a higher recurrence rate.

Dentigerous cyst

Always associated with an unerupted tooth; the most commonly occuring developmental cysts of the jaw.

Bohn nodules

Found in the gingiva of the newborn.

Inclusion cysts of the newborn treatment

Parents should be reassured that they will dissolve on their own.

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma

Associated with odontogenic cysts.

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome

Should be considered when a patient presents with a jaw cyst.

Ghost cells

A histology component found in the dentigerous cyst.

Nasopalatine duct cyst indications

The most common nonodontogenic cyst of the oral cavity; there is usually no indication of the cyst being present.

Calcifying odontogenic cyst features

May feature root divergence.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) encapsulation

This tumor is encapsulated.

Odontogenic myxoma encapsulation

This tumor is nonencapsulated.

Eosinphilic grunaloma characteristics

A variant of Langerhans cell disease characterized by floating teeth.

Cementoosseous dysplasia (COD) vitality

A lesion that is a COD will test vital.

Histocytes

The name Langerhans cells are known by.

Langerhans cell disease age group

Involves the age group between ages 1 through 10.

Odontogenic myxoma complications

A major concern is the potential for later development of ameloblastic fibrosarcoma.

Birbeck granules

A major histological finding in Langerhns cell histocytosis.
