Quick Review #251 - #pathology #oralpathology #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #dentist #dentistry #dental #COVID #COVID-19

COVID-19 has shown a variety of oral manifestations, often associated with general systemic symptoms of the virus.

1. Loss of Taste (Ageusia) and/or Smell (Anosmia): Many COVID-19 patients report partial or complete loss of taste, sometimes accompanied by alterations in taste (dysgeusia).

2. Oral Ulcers and Lesions: Patients frequently present with ulcers, aphthous-like lesions, or mucosal erosions, particularly on the tongue, palate, and buccal mucosa. Oral ulcers and lesions associated with COVID-19 can sometimes be accompanied by numbness or altered sensation (paresthesia) in the affected areas. This numbness may be linked to inflammation or nerve involvement due to the virus’s impact on the mucosal or submucosal tissues.

3. Xerostomia (Dry Mouth): Dehydration and reduced salivary gland function during COVID-19 can lead to dry mouth, which can exacerbate other oral symptoms. Some studies have also shown COVID to cause a state of increased salivation as well, leading to salivary changes in general having association while niether can be proven as specific.

4. Gingival Inflammation and Bleeding: Increased bleeding and inflammation of the gums, sometimes severe, have been reported, possibly linked to immune responses or systemic inflammation.

5. Herpetic-Like Lesions: COVID-19 may cause herpetic lesions or reactivation of the herpes simplex virus, manifesting as cold sores or other lesions around the oral cavity.

6. Swollen Tongue and Glossitis: Known as “COVID tongue,” some patients experience swelling, redness, and a burning sensation on the tongue, sometimes with a loss of papillae (smooth tongue).

7. Petechiae and Erythema: Small red or purple spots (petechiae) and generalized redness can appear on the oral mucosa, possibly due to viral-induced vascular inflammation.

Quick Review #250 - #pathology #oralpathology #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #dentist #dentistry #dental #oralcancer #cancer

Clinical:

• Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL):

• PVL is a progressive, multifocal, and recurrent form of oral leukoplakia.

• It often presents as a slow-growing white patch with a high likelihood of recurrence and malignant transformation.

• PVL primarily affects older adults, with a female predilection.

• Over time, PVL lesions tend to become more aggressive, transforming into verrucous carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma.

• Verrucous Carcinoma (VC):

• VC is a well-differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma.

• It manifests as an exophytic, warty, or cauliflower-like growth with minimal tendency for metastasis but can invade local tissues.

• Typically affects older adults and is often associated with tobacco use, especially smokeless forms.

Radiographic:

• PVL lesions are often limited as it primarily affects the mucosa; however, it can occasionally show mild bone involvement in advanced stages, particularly if there’s malignant transformation.

• VC may show evidence of local invasion in advanced cases, such as bone erosion, especially if it invades deeply into surrounding tissues. Radiographs can help assess the depth and extent of invasion in cases with substantial growth.

Histopathological:

• PVL is characterized by hyperkeratosis and dysplasia. Early PVL lesions show features of hyperplastic epithelium and may lack overt dysplasia.

• As PVL progresses, it can display various degrees of dysplasia, leading to carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma.

• PVL typically has a slow, progressive increase in atypia, often necessitating longitudinal histopathological evaluation due to its transformation risk.

• VC histopathologically demonstrates a thickened, verrucous (warty) epithelial surface with minimal cellular atypia.

• It has a “pushing” pattern of invasion rather than the usual infiltrative invasion seen in other carcinomas, with broad, bulbous rete ridges that extend into the underlying connective tissue.

• VC generally lacks the significant dysplasia seen in PVL, although it may coexist with areas of conventional squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in advanced or long-standing cases.
