6
headache, fever, facial pain, malaise; nasal discharge; maxillary sinusitis may mimic a toothache?
sinusitis
7
treatment for acute sinusitis?
amoxicillin or appropriate antibiotic
8
treatment for chronic sinusitis?
sinus surgery
9
necrotizing granulomatous process of unknown etiology, classically affects upper airway, lungs, kidneys; epitaxis, pain, nasal obstruction; later signs include ulceration and destruction of adjacent tissue or structures; any organ may be involved?
Wegener's granulomatosis
10
oral lesions: large, chronic ulcers, "strawberry gums"?
Wegener's granulomatosis
11
subepithelial hemorrhage; poorly formed granulomas; scattered giant cells; vasculitis?

in diagnosis of Wegener's, look for ...?
c-ANCA
13
treatment of Wegener's?
prednisone and cyclophosphamide
14
aggressive, destructive process of T lymphocytes; adults; nasal stuffiness, epitaxis; deep necrotic ulcerations; may progress to palatal perforations?
extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type
15
necrosis and angiocentric arrangement of atypical inflammatory cells?
extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type
16
benign but aggressive vascular neoplasm of the nasopharynx; almost exclusively of male adolescents; resemblance to nasal turbinates?
nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
17
nasal obstruction, epitaxis; anterior bowing of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus?
nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
18
dense fibrous connective tissue with myofibroblasts; numerous, variably-sized, thin-walled vessels?
nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
19
benign, papillary overgrowth of epithelium primarily on nasal septum?
papilloma
20
benign but aggressive neoplasm of the sinuses; high rate of recurrence and destruction with possible invasion of the orbit and cranial vault; inward growth of squamous epithelium?
inverted papilloma
21
malignancy of the nasopharyngeal mucosa that is more common in parts of Asia; associated with Epstein-Barr virus, vit. C deficiency; diets high in salted fish (nitrosamines)?
nasopharyngeal carcinoma
22
enlarged cervical nodes usually the first sign; unilateral serous otitis media and hearing loss?
nasopharyngeal carcinoma
23
common; secondary to viruses, diphtheria, cig smoking; may result in obstruction

24
"croup"; under age of 3; upper respiratory viral infection; loud breathing and cough with difficulty in breathing?
acute laryngotracheobronchitis
25
tumors; overgrowths of edematous inflammatory tissue, "Singer's nodes"
polyps
26
tumors; HPV related, single or multiple (children)
papillomas
27
associated with smoking, asbestos; ulcerated, fungated; hemoptysis, increasing hoarseness
squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx
28
heavy and wet lungs; development of pneumonia; left sided heart disease, allergies, CNS disorders
pulmonary congestion and edema
29
most common preventable cause of hospital death; deep vein thrombosis; dyspnea w/ or w/o shock or sudden death, pain, hemoptysis, acute or chronic cor pulmonale?
pulmonary embolism
