HAIRY LEUKOPLAKIA
-
Microscopic appearance:
Consists of hyperparakeratosis and acanthosis with balloon
cells in the upper spinous layer
Sometimes there may be koilocytosis of the superficial,
nucleated epidermal cells
o suggesting human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
- EBV is present in most cells and is NOW ACCEPTED AS THE
CAUSE of the condition
- Sometimes there is superimposed candidal infection
o Adds to the hairiness
- In HIV-positive individuals, with hairy leukoplarkia,
symptoms of AIDS follow in 2 to 3 years
Multifactorial
Chronic abusers of smoked tobacco and alcohol
Actinic radiation (sunlight) and, particularly, pipe smoking
are known predisposing influences for cancer of the lower lip

PATHOLOGY
HEAD AND NECK
DR. INOCENCIO
PERIAPICAL CYST
-
Inflammatory in origin
Found at the apex of teeth
Develop as long standing pulpitis, which may be caused by
advanced carious lesions or by trauma to the tooth
Inflammatory process may result in necrosis of pulpal tissue
which can transverse the length of the root and exit the apex
of the tooth into the surrounding alveolar bone, giving rise to
periapical abscess
A lesion with granulation tissue may develop (periapical
granulomas is not appropriatee because it does not show
true granulomatous inflammation)
Lesions persist as a result of bacteria
Removal of offending material and appropriate restoration of
the tooth or extraction
ODONTOGENIC TUMORS
-
UPPER AIRWAYS
INFLAMMATIONS
INFECTIOUS RHINITIS
-
Common cold
Caused by one or more viruses
Major offenders: adenoviruses, echoviruses, and
rhinoviruses
Profuse catarrhal discharge
Initial Acute stages: nasal mucosa is thickened, edematous
and red ;Nasal cavities are narrowed ;Turbinates are
enlarges
May produces concomitant pharyngotonsillitis
Secondary bacterial infections: enhances the inflammatory
reaction Produces mucopurulent or suppurative exudate
ALLERGIC RHINITIS
-
Hay fever
Hypersensitivity reactions to one of a large group of
allergens
Ig-E mediated immune reaction with an early and late
response phase
Marked mucosal edema
Redness
Mucus secretion, accompanied by leukocytic infiltration with
prominent eosinophils
NASAL POLYPS
-
Histologically:
-
SINUSITIS
-
Chronic sinusitis:
caused by fungi (e.g mucormycosis) especially in diabetics
Infection may spread into the orbit or penetrate the
surrounding bone to give rise to osteomyelitis or spread into
the cranial vault, causing septic thrombophlebitis of a dural
venous sinus
NECROTIZING LESIONS OF THE NOSE AND UPPER AIRWAYS
May be produced by:
-
NASOPHARYNX
INFLAMMATIONS
a. nasal polyps. Low-power magnification showing adenomatous
masses lined by epithelium B. High power view, showing deem and
eosinophil-rich inflammatory infiltrates
CHRONIC RHINITIS

PATHOLOGY
HEAD AND NECK
DR. INOCENCIO
Infrequent
Mesenchymal and epithelial neoplasm
NASOPHARYNGEAL ANGIOFIBROMA
-
Benign neoplasm
Arising from the sinonasal mucosa
Composed of squamous or columnar epithelium
HPV types 6 and 11 have been identified in the lesion
INVERTED PAPILLOMAS
-
NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA
-
Three patterns:
Keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (least radiosensitive)
Nonkeratinizing
Undifferentiated carcinomas (most radiosensitive)
-
Morphology
Histologically:
-
Histologically:
- papillomas are made up of multiple slender, finger like
projections supported by central fibrovascular cores and
covered by an orderly stratified squamous epithelium
- When papillomas are on the free edge, trauma may lead to
ulceration with hemoptysis
- Papillomas are usually single in adults; multiple in children
- Lesions are caused by HPV types 6 and 11
- Do not become malignant but may recur
- Juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis - Papillomas in children
-
LARYNX INFLAMMATIONS
LARYNGITIS
-
CROUP
-
Laryngotracheobronchitis in children
Inflammatory narrowing of the airway
LARYNGOEPIGLOTTITIS
-
Benign neoplasm
Located on the true vocal cords
Soft, raspberry like excrescences rarely more than 1 cm in
diameter
Sequence of hyperplasia-dysplasia-carcinoma
Hyperplasia, dysplasia, carcinoma in situ to invasive
carcinoma
typically a squamous cell carcinoma seen in male chronic
smokers
those confined within the larynx proper are termed intrinsic,
whereas those that arise or extend outside the larynx are
called extrinsic
Epithelial changes vary from smooth, white or reddened
focal thickenings, sometimes roughened by keratosis, to
irregular verrucous or ulcerated white-pink lesions that are
similar in appearance to carcinoma
There are all gradations of epithelial hyperplasia of the true
vocal cords, and the likelihood of the development of an
overt carcinoma is directly proportional to the level of atypia
when the lesion is first seen
Orderly hyperplasias have almost no potential for malignant
transformation
Changes are often related to tobacco smoke The changes
often regress after cessation of smoking
Alcohol is also a risk factor

**mitoses, pleomorphism, and even vascular invasion are not
reliable indicators**

cells)that is lined by inflammatory granulation tissue or by
fibrous connective tissue

Benign - often appear in the fifth to seventh decades of life
Malignant ones later in life
no reliable criteria to differentiate benign from malignant
tumors.
Clinical Features
- tumors: painless, slow-growing, mobile discrete masses
within the parotid or submandibular areas or in the buccal
cavity (image earlier)
- carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma or a malignant mixed
tumor carcinoma arising in a pleomorphic adenoma
- cancer usually takes the form of an adenocarcinoma or
undifferentiated carcinoma
