Term
fibrous lesions
Definition
reactive hyperplasias, neoplasms , fibrohistocytic
Term
reactive hyperplasias
Definition
peripheral fibroma
general gingival hyperplasia
focal fibrous hyperplasia
denture induced fibrous hyperplasia
Term
reactive hyperplasias
Definition
overexuberant repair follows injury
color = light pink to red
no nerve tissue prof. = no pain
treatment- surgical excision / removal of irritating factor
Term
peripheral fibroma
Definition
a reactive hyperplastic mass that occurs on gingiva ( derived from submucosa / PDL connect)
predilect- young adults
gender - more females
raised nodule pedunculated or sessile
color - matches tissue
ulceration may occur , rarely causes erosion of bone
Term
focal fibrous hyperplasia
Definition
aka hyperplastic scar , highly collagenous ( overprod) and avascular , may contain chronic infiltrate
gingival counterpart to traumatic fibroma
very comon in buccal mucosa, lat border of tongue and lower lippainless , broad based swelling
dont exceed 1-2 cm in diameter
Term
peripheral fibroma subtypes
Definition
peripheral ossifying
giant cell
peripheral odontogenic
retrocuspid papilla
Term
peripheral fibroma - differential diagnosis
Definition
pyogenic granuloma -red
peripheral giant cell gran. - blue
exision with pdl
Term
multiple fibroma ( FFH )
Definition
may be autosomal dominant - cowdens syndrome
oral fibromas, cutaneous papula, neoplasms of breast ,thyroid and colonic polyps
PTTEN ( tumor suppressor )
Term
generalized gingival hyperplasia causes and modifiers
Definition
local factors - plaque , calculus, bacteria
hormonal imbalance - estrogen, testerone
drug - phenytoin( dilantin) , cyclosporine, nifedipine and Ca blockers
leukemia
genetic factors
Term
generalized gingival hyperplasia
Definition
abundance of collagen and fibroblasts are increased in number , chronic inflammation
have a hereditary basis
( treatment - gingivoplasty /attentive oral hygiene
Term
denture induced fibrous hyperplasia
Definition
epuliss fissuratum
prolonged removal of denture
Term
solitary fibrous tumor
Definition
benign proliferation of spindle cells of probable fibroblastic origin
oral lesions- buccal mucosa
age-adults
Term
histo path of solitary fibrous tumor
Definition
lesions are circumscribed , patternless prolif. of spindle cells
leiomyoma, hemangiopericytoma, benighn fibrous histiocytoma
immuno- positive for CD34
most cases benign, beavior unpredictabble
10-15% behave aggressively - long term followup ( poor correlation btw histo and overall behavior
Term
soft tissue myxoma
Definition
benign soft tissue neoplasma composed of gelatinous material myxoid app.
site- palate
-no predilec
oral soft tissue myxoma is rare - slow growing , asymptomatic submucosal mass
excludes autosomal dominant.
Term
soft tissue myxoma - histopath
Definition
not encapsulated and may exhibit infiltration, loose myxoid stroma
diffuse and blending
Term
treatment of soft tissue myxoma
Definition
surgical excision , recurrenoce is not uncommon
all are benign processes, and require conservative therapy only
Term
nasopharyngeal angiofibroma ( juv. nasopharyngeal angiofibroma)
Definition
uncommon to rare benign, 20s , always affects boys, nasopharynx,
rarely lesions may present intraorally causing palatal expansion - appear blue
symptom triad - recurrent epistaxis, nasal obstruction, mass effect within nasopharynx
Term
histopath of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
Definition
well collagenated lesion
cleft like vascular channels
uniform , benign app.
Term
treatment - JNPA ( juv. nasophary angfibroma
Definition
may exhibit agg. clinical behav. in which direct ext. into bones of midface and skull base
recurrence up to 50% due to incomp. excision , invasive nature of lesion and surfgical diff. anatom loc.
Term
giant cell angiofibroma
Definition
rare benign soft tissue -first described in the orbit ( submand, orbit, extraorbital and oral cavity
- patternless round to spindle
positive to vimentin and CD34
multinucleated floret type giant cell with nuclei at periphery of cell
local excision
Term
nodular fasciitis ( pseudosarcomatous fasciitis )
Definition
rapid growth clinically that malignancy suspect
young adults and adults
sites- trunk and extremities
no predilection
intraorally buccal mucosa
Term
histopath of nodular fasciitis
Definition
nodular growth pattern,
storiform arrangement
myxoid areas are often found
multinucleated giant cell and normal mitotic figure
inflamm cells and extravasated RBCs
Term
differential diagnosis of nodular fasciitis
Definition
fibromatosis
fibrous histiocytoma
fibrosarcoma
myofibroma
Term
IHC of nodular fasciitis express
Definition
smooth muscle actin
Term
treatment of nodular fasciitis
Definition
conservative surgical incision
Term
myofibroblastic tumor
Definition
myofibromatosis - multifocal -occur infants
prolif of myofibroblast
myofibroma- solitary -over a wide age range, predilection for head and neck
circumscribed mass
Term
myofibroblastic histopath
Definition
tumor show pushing , well demarcated borders
paucicellular lobules with hyalinized or collagenous stroma alternate with cellular zones
uniform with tapered nuclei
biphasic growth pattern, with fascicles of myoid appear spindled cells surrounding nodules of rounded pericyte like cells
Term
IHC for myofibroma
Definition
+ for smooth muscle actin
(-) for desmin
(-) CD 34
(-) S-100
Term
treatment of myofibroma
Definition
myofibromas arae begning and local excision is curatie
multiple lesions dont represent recurrence but multifocal disease , if deep and involves visceral lesion and mortality rate approaching 80%
