Q

What is the most commonly recognized nevus that is the acquired melanocytic nevus AKA mole and is the most common of all adult tumors? This has 3 stages (Junctional, Compound, and Intradermal), what makes them different?

A
  1. Acquired Melanocytic Nevus
  2. o Junctional – Earliest presentation; appears as a dark macule less than 6 mm.
    o Compound – Occurs as the nevus cells proliferate. It is a slightly elevated, soft papule with a smooth surface. The degree of pigmentation decreases.
    o Intradermal (intramucosal in oral cavity) – The surface becomes somewhat papillomatous; hairs may grow from the center. Loses most or all of its pigmentation.

20
Q

What is an intraoral white plaque that can’t be rubbed off and it cannot be identified well, where 80% is benign hyperkeratosis and etiology comes from tobacco, alcohol, UV radiation, trauma and sanguinaria? What are the lesions that can then demonstrate scattered red patches? Red and white intermixed lesions are termed?

A
  1. Leukoplakia
  2. Erythroplakia
  3. Erythroplakia and erythroleukoplakia
21
Q

What is a special high-risk form of leukoplakia characterized by multiple keratotic plaques with roughened surface projections?

A

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL)

22
Q

What is defined as a red patch that cannot be diagnosed as any other condition, where a biopsy is mandatory and is red in color due to lack of keratin and epithelial thinness?

A

Erythroplakia

23
Q

What is characteristic white plaque is produced on the mucosa in direct contact – termed smokeless tobacco keratosis with lesions that develop shortly after heavy tobacco use begins; new lesions seldom arise in persons with long history of use, and lesion appears as a thin, gray or white plaque with a border that blends into surrounding mucosa?

A

Smokeless Tobacco Keratosis

24
Q

What is chronic, progressive, scarring, high-risk precancerous condition of the oral mucosa and linked to chronic placement of betel quid or paan?

A

Oral Submucous Fibrosis

25
Q

What is a white keratotic change on the palate, due to heat, which is seen as a diffusely gray or white palate and usually caused by cigarettes?

A

Nicotine Stomatitis

26
Q

What is a common cutaneous premalignant lesion caused by cumulative UV radiation and develops in over half of white adults with significant lifetime sun exposure?

A

Actinic Keratosis

27
Q

What is a common premalignant alteration of the lower lip vermilion and results from long-term exposure to UV light usually on a farmers or sailers lip?

A

Actinic Cheilosis

28
Q

What is a self-limiting, epithelial proliferation, where patients with Muir-Torre syndrome have a hereditary predisposition for multiple lesions and appears as a firm, well-demarcated, painless, sessile, dome-shaped nodule with a central plug of keratin?

A

Keratoacanthoma

29
Q

What is cancer of the mouth that is usually caused by alcohol, tobacco, radiation, iron deficiency, phenolic agents (phenoxyacetic acids of wood workers), immunosuppression (HIV), Vitamin-A Deficiency (excessive keratinization), Syphilis (tertiary stage), Oncogenic Viruses (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33), and Oncogenes?

A 
o	Asymmetry
o	Border irregularity
o	Color variation
o	Diameter greater than 6 mm (roughly the end of an eraser)
o	Evolving lesions
35
Q

What is the TNM system used for? What does each stand for? There are 4 Stages of TNM Classification, what are they?

A
  • Used to determine tumor size and metastatic spread.
  • T: Tumor Size (Tis, T1, T2, T3, T4a,T4b)
  • N: Node Involvement (N1,N2,N3)
  • M: Metastases (M0,M1)
  • Stage:
    I. T1, N0, M0
    II. T2, N0, M0
    III. T3, N0, M0 -OR- ANY T with N1, M0
    IV. T4, N3 and any M
36
Q

In the TNM system of tumors, how do you differentiate the different levels of T, N and M?

A

Tumor size: Tis: In Situ, T1: 2 cm or less, T2: 3-4 cm, T3: 5+ cm, T4a: Resectable and doesn’t involve major anatomy. T4b: Unresectable tumor that involves major anatomy.

Node: N1: Single ipsilateral node (3 cm or less), N2: Ipsilateral or contra lateral node(s), (6 cm or less), N3: Metastasis (more than 6 cm).

Metastases: M0: Not present, M1: Present

37
