Study Notes
Connective Tissue Tumors
- Leiomyoma is a neoplasm of smooth muscle cells
- Fibrosarcoma has the highest risk of malignant transformation among connective tissue tumors
- The most common location for a traumatic neuroma is the mental nerve foramen
Oral Cavity Anatomy
- The lamina propria is the layer of the oral cavity focused on in this video
Classification of Connective Tissue Tumors
- Connective tissue tumors generally fall into two categories: benign and malignant
Types of Connective Tissue Tumors
- A fibroma is also known as an fibrous histiocytoma
- Granular cell tumor is characterized by granular cytoplasm in its cells
Syndromes Associated with Connective Tissue Tumors
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome is characterized by the development of tumors in endocrine glands
- Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) involves the presence of multiple neurofibromas and skin freckles
- Nodular fasciitis and fibromatosis both exhibit aggressive growth patterns
