Q

Epulis Fissuratum/Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia

A

fibrous hyperplasia developing because of an ill-fitting removable prosthesis (denture or partial)

IFH can also occur WITHOUT a prosthesis because of inflammatory factors like plaque and calculus– cannot call this epulis fissuratum

firm and fibrous

usually on FACIAL ASPECT

Good prognosis when the ill-fitting prosthesis is fixed

4 types of Oral Candidiasis
1. Erythematous candidiasis (two types-- central papillary atrophy and denture stomatitis) 2. Angular cheilitis 3. Acute pseudomembranous candidiasis 4. Hyperplastic candidiasis
26
Central Papillary Atrophy
One of the 2 types of Erythematous Candidiasis previously called "median rhomboid glossitis" Most caused by chronic candidiasis Well-defined area of redness, mid-posterior dorsal tongue Usually asymptomatic
27
Denture Stomatitis
One of the 2 types of Erythematous candidiasis May be called "chronic atrophic candidiasis" Denture is often contaminated with candida organisms, but NO INVASION OF MUCOSA is seen Erythema of palatal denture-bearing area Usually asymptomatic
28
Angular Cheilitis
Usually related to candidiasis, but may have other cutaneous bacterial microflora Redness, cracking of corners of the mouth Often waxes and wanes Usually required topical anti-fungal therapy
29
Treatment for angular cheilitis
Angular cheilitis with intramural candidiasis: - clotrimazole troches-- have pts lick corners of mouth while using troches Isolated or severe: topical anti fungal creams - 1%/1% iodoquinol/hydrocortisone - nystatin/triamcinolone cream - OTC 1% clotrimazole
30
Pseudomembranous Candidiasis
Also called "thrush" White "curdled milk" or "cottage cheese-like" plaques that CAN BE WIPED OFF and leave an erythematous base BUCCAL MUCOSA PALATE TONGUE May be asymptomatic - burning or unpleasant taste occasionally noted
31
Hyperplastic Candidiasis
also known as "candidal leukoplakia" White patch that CANNOT be rubbed off ANTERIOR BUCCAL MUCOSA May be problematic because a true leukoplakia may have superimposed candidiasis (leukoplakia is premalignant and you may not recognize it due to the candida growth) should resolve with anti fungal therapy
32
Leukoplakia
white patch or plaque that cannot be characterized as any other disease considered PREMALIGNANT (most common precancerous oral lesion--may transform to SCC) Well-defined with crisp margins May be homogenous, variably thick, or speckled Common areas: "soft areas" - lateral/ventral tongue - floor of mouth - soft palate hyperkeratosis with or without acanthosis most do NOT show dysplasia
33
Possible etiologies of leukoplakia (there are 3)
1. tobacco smoking 2. sanguinaria (blood root) [this is a flower] 3. betel nut use Alcohol is NOT necessarily associated with leukoplakia
34
5 Lesions that ARE NOT LEUKOPLAKIA:
"Frick, This is Not A Leukoplakia" Frictional keratosis Tobacco pouch keratosis Nicotine stomatitis Amalgam reactions Lichen Planus
35
Prognosis and Tx of Leukoplakia
BIOPSY MANDATORY (premalignant.. duh) Tx: clinical monitoring, excision, laser ablation Small risk of transformation to SCC Follow-up appt is essential, with or without removal Recurrences COMMON (1/3 of patients)
36
Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL)
More than 1 precancerous lesion in the mouth OR a single lesion greater than 3cm no definite etiology OLDER FEMALES (mean age = 67) Malignant transformation in more than 70% of patients almost guaranteed recurrence (87-100%) Prognosis is GUARDED Management: - 3-6 month recall with excellent documentation - biopsy at least every 12-18 months, sooner if it changes or a new lesion appears.
37
Erythroplakia
Red patch that cannot be clinically or pathologically diagnosed as any other condition MUCH MORE DYSPLASIA upon biopsy than leukoplakia - 90% of erythroplakia shows dysplasia (CIS) Same etiology as SCC (tobacco, alcohol) OLDER MALES Same locations as leukoplakia (very soft areas) - floor of mouth - ventral tongue - soft palate Well-demarcated velvety, red plaque May be adjacent to areas of leukoplakia Epithelial atrophy with lack of keratin production Chronic inflammation BIOPSY and close follow-up are MANDATORY Tx depends on how severe the dysplasia is Recurrence, developing separate lesions, and malignant transformation are all common
38
Most common oral cancer? Most common demographic for this cancer?
Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Most common in BLACK MALES
39
OSCC Risk Factors
Tobacco (especially combustible)--75-85% have OSCC association Alcohol (not directly a carcinogen here, but works synergistically with tobacco) Betel quid Radiation Plummer Vinson Syndrome - iron deficiency anemia - glossitis - dysphagia Immunosuppression High-risk HPV strains - not a major risk factor for oral cavity cancer - associated more with OROPHARYNX cancers (base of tongue, tonsillar pillars, back of throat)-- usually attributed to HPV16 ** 20-25% of OSCC present with NO IDENTIFIABLE RISK FACTORS
40
How long is OSCC usually present before pt seeks medical attention?
4-8 months longer (8-24 months) in lower socioeconomic classes denial, lack of pain, and insufficient education play a role
41
OSCC has highly varied features that may include:
exophytic (growing out from tissue) endophytic (growing down into tissue ulcerated erythroplakic leukoplakic ** it doesn't have all these features at once, these are just possible appearances
42
OSCC histologic features
islands and strands of malignant squamous epithelial cells Pleomorphism, hyperchromatism, increased nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio, increased mitotic rate
43
OSCC most common locations
Tongue more than 1/2 of cases (ventral and lateral... very rarely dorsal) Floor of mouth and soft palate 2nd most common Gingiva Buccal mucosa Labial mucosa Hard palate
44
Metastasis of OSCC
spread through LYMPHATICS Firm nodes, moveable or fixed distant spread to lungs, liver, bones Stage at diagnosis is the most important prognostic factor!!
45
OSCC Treatment and Prognosis
Surgical excision/resection radiation usually chemotherapy does NOT respond well Prognosis: - carcinoma of LIP has a much better prognosis stage 1 has okay prognosis, stage 4 has very bad prognosis "Field cancerization"-- person with one carcinoma are at increased risk of a second mucosal tumor
46
SCC of the LIP
Cause: chronic UV light MALES (usually light skinned with outdoor occupations) Slowly growing, indurated (hardened) ulceration
47
Verrucous Carcinoma
first reported as a smoke-less tobacco related lesion SCC is much more common, even among smokeless tobacco users May be associated with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) MALES older than 55 white, warty plaque mandibular vestibule buccal mucosa hard palate VERY RARE METASTASIS GOOD PROGNOSIS - up to 20% have foci of SCC

Dome shaped submucosal swelling 2mm to several cm in size Bluish translucence to normal color Fluctuant or firm on palpation
54
Ranula
