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
