Study Notes
Diseases of Oral Cavity & Esophagus
- Diseases of the oral cavity and esophagus are discussed.
Oral Cavity Infections
- Herpes simplex infections are common.
- Most orofacial herpes are caused by HSV-1.
- These infections result in common, but mild cold sores.
- Acute herpetic gingivostomatitis presents with vesicles and ulcerations.
- Recurrent herpetic stomatitis describes the recurring nature.
Oral Cavity Apthous Ulcers
- These are common superficial ulcerations of the oral mucosa.
- The lesions appear as single or multiple, shallow ulcerations.
- They usually heal spontaneously, often recurrently.
- They are more painful than serious.
- Glossitis: A beefy-red tongue is seen in deficiency states.
- Atrophy of papillae and thin mucosa is noted.
- Vitamin B12 and iron deficiencies are common causes.
Oral Candidiasis (Thrush)
- Superficial white patches or a fluffy membrane cover the oral cavity.
- The membrane consists of matted organisms, within a fibrinosuppurative exudate.
- It is easily detached, revealing a reddened underlying surface.
- Candida is part of normal oral flora.
- This condition is found in diabetic, neutropenic, and immunocompromised individuals (like those with HIV).
- It is the most common fungal infection in the oral cavity.
Oral Manifestations of Systemic Disease
- Hairy leukoplakia is seen in immunocompromised patients, especially those with HIV.
- Manifestations include white, fluffy thickenings on the lateral parts of the tongue.
- Epstein-Barr virus is often present in these cases.
- Infections like measles (Koplik spots), infectious mononucleosis, and diphtheria can appear in the oral cavity.
- Dermatologic conditions such as lichen planus, pemphigus, erythema multiforme (including Stevens-Johnson syndrome) can manifest orally.
- Haematologic disorders like pancytopenia (agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia) and leukemia, can affect the mouth.
- Monocytic leukemia can cause infiltration and expansion of the gingivae.
Oral Precancerous Lesions
- Leukoplakia is a clinical term for white plaques.
- It cannot be removed by scraping.
- It's considered precancerous until proven otherwise via examination.
- Erythroplakia presents as red, velvety erosions.
- Tobacco use (cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco) is a major risk factor for these conditions.
Tumors and Precancerous Lesions
- Many oral tumors, like papillomas, hemangiomas, and lymphomas also appear elsewhere in the body.
- Only squamous cell carcinoma and its precancerous lesions are exclusively oral.
Leukoplakia Definition
- Leukoplakia is defined by the World Health Organization as a white patch or plaque that is not removable by scraping and cannot be classified as any other disease.
- Lichen planus and candidiasis are not considered leukoplakia.
Leukoplakia Risk Factors
- Approximately 3% of the global population has leukoplakic lesions.
- About 5–25% of these lesions show premalignant potential, therefore until proven otherwise, all leukoplakias are considered precancerous.
Erythroplakia Description
- Related to leukoplakia but much less common.
- Erythroplakia represents a red, velvety, possibly eroded area within the oral cavity.
- It usually remains level with or slightly depressed compared to surrounding mucosa.
Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Smoked tobacco, alcohol, betel quid chewing, sirih, paan, sunlight, and pipe smoking are associated.
- The cancer can appear on the floor of the mouth, tongue, hard palate, and base of the tongue.
- Lesions are often ulcerating with raised rolled borders.
- Histology typically shows well-differentiated squamous cells.
- Cancer spreads to cervical, mediastinal nodes, lungs, and liver.
Odontogenic Tumors
- Odontogenic tumors are derived from odontogenic epithelium, ectomesenchyme, or both.
- Two common types are ameloblastoma and odontoma.
- Ameloblastoma arises from odontogenic epithelium.
- Odontomas are formed from epithelium but contain enamel and dentin deposits.
Salivary Glands
- Three major salivary glands- parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands exist.
- Also, minor salivary glands are found.
- Inflammations (siadenitis) common.
- Mucoceles are most common inflammatory lesions.
- They result from the blockage or rupture of salivary gland ducts, and present as a swelling of the lower lip.
- Viral (Mumps), autoimmune (Sjogren's syndrome), and bacterial (sialolithiasis) are other factors involved.
- Viral causes of sialadenitis include mumps.
- Autoimmune disorders, such as Sjögren's syndrome are associated.
- Bacterial causes affect salivary glands secondary to ductal obstruction (sialolithiasis).
Salivary Gland Tumors- Benign
- Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign salivary gland tumor.
- It's primarily found in the parotid.
- It appears as a painless, slow-growing mass, often with recurrence after removal.
- Warthin tumor (adenolymphoma) is the second most common benign salivary gland malignancy.
- It is characterized by a rounded mass with cleft-like spaces.
Salivary Gland Tumors- Malignant
- Mucoepidermoid tumor is the most common malignant tumor in salivary glands.
- It can occur following radiation therapy
- It contains squamous and mucus cells.
Esophagus
- Dysphagia, heartburn, pain, and haematemesis are common symptoms associated with esophageal diseases.
- Congenital anomalies, such as esophageal atresia/fistula, can cause feeding problems and often require surgical intervention.
- Some conditions like achalasia, hiatal hernias, and diverticular development present as motor function disorders.
Esophagitis
- Reflux esophagitis (GERD).
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) results in reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus and mucosal injury.
- Increased inflammatory cells, basal zone hyperplasia, bleeding, ulceration, and stricture are possible complications.
- Barrett's esophagus is a complication of long-standing GERD.
- It includes squamous mucosal replacement by metaplastic columnar epithelium.
Esophageal Varices
- Portal hypertension can lead to esophageal varices, dilated submucosal veins.
- Rupture can cause upper GI bleeding (hematemesis).
- Esophageal varices are common in cirrhotic patients.
Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Worldwide, dietary and environmental factors influence squamous cell carcinoma incidence.
- Genetic factors affect the reaction to the associated external factors.
- Alcohol and tobacco use contribute to the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in several regions.
- Different regions of the world may have distinctive rates and factors influencing this form of esophageal cancer.
- Squamous cell carcinoma typically presents with a polypoid, diffuse infiltrating, or ulcerated appearance.
- Spread, including lymph node involvement, is often early.
- Key regions for lymph node involvement are cervical, mediastinal, and coeliac nodes.
Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
- Adenocarcinoma arises in people with Barrett's esophagus.
- It follows a multistep process, beginning with dysplasia.
- The cancer often arises in the lower third of the esophagus.
- It commonly involves intestinal type cells.
- Clinical characteristics resemble those of squamous cell carcinoma.
