27 APR 2022 · MUCOSAL – INFECTIONS
Oral infections are viral, bacterial, or fungal in nature. The most commonly encountered infections are viral, usually herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections.
Clinical presentation of viral infections depends on viral type: herpes causes mucosal ulceration (preceded by vesicles), human papillomavirus (HPV) typically induces a verruciform (warty) lesion, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes a white lesion (hairy leukoplakia).
Most bacterial and fungal infections manifest as chronic ulcers. The fungus Candida albicans can cause either white or red lesions.

- Associated with Firm, fixed neck nodes
LIP SCC
- Reasons or Risk Factors:
+ Sunlight exposure
+ Human papilloma Virus (HPV)
+ Gene mutation
+ Tobacco chewing
- Usually has good prognosis
- If ulcer (SCC) is well differentiated– which is also the most common type – and shows late metastasis – therefore better prognosis
- If ulcer has already metastasised – then poor prognosis
- Plummer Vincent syndrome – mucosal atrophy + dysphagia + iron deficiency anemia + increased risk of ral cancer ie SQCC
- Qn. 21 y old pt who has iron deficiency anemia + difficulty swallowing(dysphagia) with examination of barium sulphate you found : SQCC
TONGUE SCC
- Lateral border of tongue – most common SQCC
- Usually metastasises fast ∴ poor prognosis

- Best biopsy for Sq. C C – INCISIONAL BIOPSY
- During biopsy – tongue secured to suture or towel clip + clip
- During examination – tongue secured by guaze piece
VERRUCOUS CARCINOMA
- It is a well differentiated form of SQCC
- It shows cauliflower shaped lesions on both sin & mucosa**
- Associated with betel nut chewing
- It is a malignant type of lesion
- Rx – surgical excision
BASAL CELL CARCINOMA
-Rodent ulcer
- Due to sun exposure
MALIGNANT MELANOMA
- Most dangerous tumor
- Malingnancy of melanocytes
- Most common intra oral site – gingiva – anteriorly & palate
- Least common – acral lentigo melanoma*
- Blackish discolouration
