Nonblisterform lesions are solid and thus have no fluid component they feel firm upon palpation. They are classified depending on their diameter and pattern into a. Papule –  Consists of tissue and is equal to or less than 0.5 cm in greatest diameter. b. Nodule – Consists of tissue and is greater than 0.5cm but equal to or less than 2.0 cm in largest diameter: i. Sessile – Broad based. ii. Pedunculated – Connected to the surface by a stalk.

lesions contain a bodily fluid and are usually referred as a “blister.” They are usually identified by a characteristic translucent appearance and upon palpation feel soft, a fluctuant sensation. depending on their greatest diameter and the type of fluid material contained: a. Vesicle :Equal to or less than 0.5 cm (5mm) in greatest diameter. A vesicle contains serum or mucin, and the color is usually clear or translucent; however, it is sometimes slightly whitish or bluish. Bulla :  Greater than 0.5 cm in greatest diameter. A bulla usually contains serum or mucin but may occasionally contain extravasated blood; the color may be clear, reddish, or bluish depending on the fluid content. c. Pustule   Any size. A pustule exclusively contains a purulent exudate (“pus”), and the color is yellowish.

#Oral_medicine #SCC 🔵Signs and symptoms: Oral lesions are asymptomatic initially, highlighting the need for oral screening. Most dental professionals carefully examine the oral cavity and oropharynx during routine care and may do a brush biopsy of abnormal areas. The lesions may appear as areas of erythroplakia or leukoplakia and may be exophytic or ulcerated 🔵The chief risk factors for oral squamous cell carcinoma are: 1.Smoking (especially > 2 packs/day) 2.Alcohol use Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue may also result from any chronic irritation, such as dental caries, overuse of mouthwash, chewing tobacco, or the use of betel quid. 🔵Diagnosis 1.Biopsy 2.Endoscopy to detect second primary cancer 3.Chest x-ray and CT of head and neck Any suspicious areas should be biopsied. Incisional or brush biopsy can be done depending on the surgeon's preference 🔵Treatment Surgery, with postoperative rad

#Oral_medicine #SCC 🔵Incidence: 🔶possible sites 🔹lower lip 🔹Tongue 🔹floor of the mouth 🔹Soft palate 🔹gingival / alveolar ridge 🔹Buccal mucosa 🔵Etiology The Etiology is unknown. But a number of etiological factors have been implicated. 🔴strong associated: .tobacco Smoking and chewing chronic alcohol consumption .human papilloma virus Infection

#Oral_medicine #SCC 🔵Squamous cell carcinoma It is amalignant neoplasm of stratified squamous epithelium in the oral cavity 🔹Capable of local destructive growth and distant metastasis

#OralMedicine #Premalignant_disease #Erythroplasia 🌺 DESCRIPTION: 🍀 This is a clinical description designating a velvety red but not ulcerated area on mucous membrane. 🍀The texture may be normal or roughened. 🍀Size is variable, some so small as to virtually escape discovery, whereas large areas are conspicuous to casual inspection. 🍀There are usually no symptoms. Being neither elevated nor depressed, they present as quie, unpretentious lesions. 🍀 The border may be sharp or blend imperceptibly into surrounding normal mucosa. 🍀 It must constantly be kept in mind that early carcinoma frequently appears as an area of erythroplasia. 🌺 ETIOLOGY: 🍀 There are many different diseases that appear as erythroplasia. Local irritants and infection, especially Candida, are responsible for some lesions. 🍀 For those that prove to be dysplastic or neoplastic, the etiology is unknown. 🍀 Tobacco and alcohol are chief suspects 🌺 TREATMENT: 🍀 Treatment depends on the histologic findings. If the biopsy shows dysplasia or carcinoma, total excision is indicated. 🌺 PROGNOSIS: 🍀 This depends on the histologic diagnosis and extent of the lesion. 🍀 In one study, more than 90% of oral erythroplakias were dysplastic (premalignant) or malignant on the day of the biopsy. 🍀 Invasive carcinomas will require more extensive surgery that may include

#OralـMedicine #Salivery_gland_disease #Mucocele 🌺 DESCRIPTION: 🍁 A mucocele is a collection of saliva in the oral mucosa. 🍁 They are soft elevations whose color ranges from that of normal mucosa to light blue or even white. 🍁 Patients with mucoceles regularly state that the lesion “gets larger, then smaller, then larger again.” This has become an important diagnostic sign. 🍁 The mucosa of the lower lip and buccal mucosa are the most common sites, but any area that contains intraoral salivary glands is a potential site. 🌺 ETIOLOGY: 🍃 Traumatic severance of salivary ducts permitting salivary escape into mucosa is the accepted etiology 🌺 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: 🍃 Salivary gland neoplasms (especially mucoepidermoid carcinoma) 🍃 varix 🍃 hemangioma. 🌺 TREATMENT: 🌸 Surgical excision deep enough to include the underlying gland that feeds it. 🌺 PROGNOSIS: Good
