Study Notes
ORAL DIAGNOSIS: PRIMARY LESIONS
- There are 7 types of primary lesions that can occur in the oral cavity and skin.
- These lesions may not retain their initial appearance due to alteration by trauma, mastication, maceration, movement of tissues, and time.
- Examples include macules, papules, nodules, vesicles, papules, bullae or blebs, and tumescences.
MACULES
- Macules are flat, well-circumscribed colored areas of tissue.
- They vary in size from pinhead to several centimeters.
- Colors include red, brown, white, and black.
- Three types of macules are erythematous, petechiae, and ecchymosis.
Erythematous Macules
- These are simple erythema caused by localized vascular congestion.
- The color fades away when pressure is applied.
- Causes can include thermal burns (hot or cold beverages), extreme cold (frostbite), and chemical burns (aspirin).
Petechiae and Ecchymosis
- These result from hemorrhages into the tissue.
- Petechiae are small red spots that do not blanch.
- Ecchymosis is larger, bluish-red discoloration; also known as bruising.
- Causes are physical trauma or blunt trauma to the tissue.
Management of Macules
- Most cases are mild and painless.
- Analgesics and topical hydrocortisone emollient bases may be prescribed if pain is present.
THREE TYPES OF MACULES
- Color: Red-Brown-White-Black
Causes of Macules
-
Erythematous: Localized vascular congestion (e.g., simple erythema)
- Blanches (fades) when pressure is applied.
- Caused by thermal (burns, hot/cold beverages), extreme cold (frostbite), chemical (acidic, e.g., aspirin)
-
Petechiae/Ecchymosis: Hemorrhages into tissue
-
Petechiae: Small, red spots, do not blanch.
-
Ecchymosis: Bluish-red discoloration (bruising), does not blanch.
-
Caused by physical trauma or blunt force trauma.
Clinical features of Macules
- Erythematous macules: Red area, tender, painful; blanching when pressure applied.
- Petechiae/ecchymosis: Red to bluish-brown, do not blanch with pressure, various sizes depending on force of injury.
Management of Macules
- Self-limiting in most cases.
- Removal of the cause (e.g., hot liquids, chemicals)
- Pain management (analgesics).
- Topical corticosteroids may be used in some cases.
Other Diagnoses
- Dengue: Petechiae can be a diagnostic indicator.
- Tourniquet Test used to diagnose.
Additional Information
- Palate and buccal mucosa are common sites of oral lesions.
- Self-limiting lesions may persist for several days.
- Solitary lesions require thorough evaluation for systemic causes.
- Hemostatic defects (e.g., thrombocytopenia, leukemia) should be assessed if there are continuous episodes.
