Persistent, non-tender, rubbery, freely movable nodes describe what type reaction lymphandenopathy?
Chronic
What should be biopsied to rule out a lymphoma or mets cancer?
a chronic reactive lymph node
What does the histo look like for reactive lymphadenopathy
we see germinal centers at the periphery of the nodes
What is this?
Reactive lymphandeopathy that presents in the oral cavity
Is this a reactive lymphandeopathy or some other pathology? (SCC, papilloma)

Deficiency of factor VIII is ____
Hemophilia A
Deficiency of factor 9 is _____
hemophilia B
Abnormal PTT (intrinsic clotting pathways) is present in what?
Hemophilias
The disease presents as the following
Uncontrolled bleeding, hemarthrosis, pseudotumor
Oral: Hematomas following minor trauma
Hemophilias
What should not be recommended for a patient with hemophilia?
Do not recommend blood thinners like NSAIDS and aspirin
disease of decreased platelets and orally presents as petechiae, ecchymoses, hematomas
Thrombocytopenia
Oral lesions are often the first sign!
As a dentist what should you do if a patient has thrombocytopenia?
delay treatment
refere
avoid NSAIDS and aspirin
reduction in the oxygen carrying ability of blood due to the reduction in number of circulating RBCs or in the concentration of hemoglobin
Anemia
What are two oral sign of anemia?
Pale mucosa (eyes and oral)
smooth, bald tongue (can also get angular chelosis)
Hereditary disorder of Beta-globin chain
sickle cell anemia
what its the difference between sickle cell trait vs. sickle disease?
trait: carrier state--> one mutation, might not have clinical findings
disease-->homozygous, more severe manifestations
Four main side effects of sickle cell anemia
Sickle cell crisis, acute chest syndrome
Pulpal necrosis (pulp is sterile so not due to caries but micro infarcts in vessels)
Proslonged paresthesia
Susecptibily to infections (increased risk of osetomyelitis)
Why should you avoid epinephrine in patients with sickle cell anemia?
It is a vasoconstrictor and makes the micro infarcts worse
Disease that presents with severe anemia, infections, bone marrow hyperplasia (enlarged maxilla and frontal bossing), and hair on end appearance
Thalassemia major
failure of marrow stem cells and therefore a reduction in the numbers of all blood cells
Aplastic anemia
What causes aplastic anemia (3)
Chloramphenicol
Benzene
Viruses
what are the 4 oral signs and symptoms of aplastic anemia
Gingival hemorrhage
Petechiae, ecchymoses
Pale mucosa
Ulcerations, infections
Reduced number of neutrophils (<1500) and increased risk of infections
Neutropenia
What differentiates neutropenia oral ulcers from aphthous ulcers?
Oral ulcers in neutropenia do NOT have erythematous halo like aphthous ulcers do
What is the difference between aplastic anemia and leukemia
With leukemia you would see WBC in the peripheral blood and with aplastic anemia you would have a decrease in all new blood cells
What do the oral lesions for agranulocytosis manifest as?
Deep, punched out ulcers
NUG like lesions
Agranulocytosis is a decrease in what 3 cells?
Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
Mutation of neutrophil elastase gene
Cyclic neutropenia
A disease that has episodes that last 3-5 days and reach every 18-21 days, affects children and presents as multiple ulcers and periodontal disease
Cyclic neutropenia
a group of malignancies of stem cells that have either myeloid or lymphoid lineage
Leukemia
Most common leukemia in children

Infections (Candidiasis, HSV, Periodontal disease, loose teeth)
Boggy swelling of gingival tissue
Chloroma
Leukemias
How does leukemia present on an a radiograph
osteolytic lesions
Occurs when engrafted BONE MARROWcells perceive the host tissues as foreign
GVHD
occurs within 100 days of transplant and presents as mild cutaneous rash to a severe sloughing
Acute GVHD
Occurs more than 100 days after the transplant
Skin lesions may resemble lichen planus or systemic sclerosis
Chronic GVHD
What do the oral lesions for GVHD look like?
Lichenoid lesions, ulcerations
Xerostomia is common
Group of disorders characterized by monoclonal proliferation of Langerhans cells
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (Histiocytosis X)
What might the radiographic features of LCH mimic?
May mimic juvenile periodontitis
How do you differentiate between LCH and MM when you see punched out RL
LCH is in CHILDREN
MM is in ADULTS

With Hodgkin Lymphoma if there are nodes on both sides or organ involvement what does that mean?
It is at a later stage in the disease
T/F: oral lesions with hodgkins lymphoma is rare
True
There are two common subtypes of Non-Hodkins lymphoma what are they and what is the most common subtype ?
1. Diffuse B cell and Follicular
2. Most common= Diffuse B cell
