Oral pathology is a domain of dentistry. In the context of anatomical pathology, it can be lumped with head and neck pathology. Oral lesions redirects here.
Odontogenic tumours and cysts
Main article: Odontogenic tumours and cysts
Oral infections
Oral candidiasis
General
- Due to candida - a fungus.
- May be associated with immunodeficiency, e.g. AIDS, organ transplant/immunosuppression.
Forms:[1]
- Pseudomembranous (thrush).
- Erythematous.
- Hyperplastic.
Microscopic
- See candidiasis.
Hairy leukoplakia
General
Features:[1]
Gross
- White confluent patches (icing sugar) - usu. tongue.
DDx:
- See leukoplakia.
Images:
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Hyperkeratosis (thicker stratum corneum).[5]
- Acanthosis (thicker stratum spinosum).[6]
- "Balloon cells" in upper stratum spinosum - perinuclear clearing.
Oral neoplasms
Peripheral fibroma
- AKA focal fibrous hyperplasia, AKA peripheral ossifying fibroma, AKA fibroid epulis (old term), AKA fibroepithelial polyp.[7]
- AKA oral fibroma.[8][9]
General
- Most common oral cavity tumour.[9]
- Female predominance (female:male = 2:1), usually 30-50 years old.[9]
- Multiple oral fibromas may be seen in Cowden disease.[10][11]
- Histologically similar to fibrous papule.[12]
Microscopic
Features:[12]
- Fibrous stroma - key feature.
- "Very pink" at low power.
- +/-Collagen bundles, may be prominent.
- Prominent (dilated) vessels.
- Overlying (squamous) mucosa benign (flat).
- +/-Hyperkeratosis +/-focal ulceration.[9]
Pigmented lesions of the oral cavity
A brief DDx of pigmented lesions:[13]
- Diffuse & bilateral:
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
- Addison's disease.
- Drug-induced.
- Smoker's melanosis.
- Focal:
- Vascular lesions.
- Amalgam tattoo.
- Melanocytic lesions.
- Melanotic macule.
- Blue nevus.
- Malignant melanoma.
Smoker's melanosis
General
- Benign.
- Seen in ~20% of smokers.[13]
- Presence of find (smoking) dose-dependent, i.e. longer heavier smokers are more likely to have it.
Gross
- Typically labial gingvia or buccal mucosa.[13]
Microscopic
Features:
- Basal melanosis.
- +/-Melanin incontinence.
Image:
Intramucosal melanocytic nevus
- Abbreviated IMN.
General
- Most common oral nevus.[14]
- Second most common is the blue nevus.
- Essentially an intradermal melanocytic nevus.
Microscopic
Features:
- Symmetrical lesion.
- "Matures" with depth
- Less cellular with depth
- Less nuclear atypia with depth.
- Smaller cells with depth.
- Smaller nests with depth.
- Rare mitoses (superficial).
- No deep mitoses.
- No destruction of surrounding structures.
- No nucleoli.
