what are the 3 types of
EPITHELIAL TUMORS?

benign tumor of squamous epithelium that appears clinically as a relatively small exophytic pedunculated or sessile growth

Cauliflower-like in appearance
Occur at any age
Most commonly found in soft palate
Tx: surgical excision

white plaque-like lesion of the oral mucosa that cannot be rubbed off and cannot be diagnosed as a specific disease

Histologically it may show epithelial dysplasia, or squamous cell carcinoma
When found on floor of the mouth or lateral border of tongue – biopsy

an oral mucosal lesion that may appear as a smooth red patch or a granular red and velvety patch

A lesion showing a mixture of red and white areas is called

"Carcinoma in Situ"
Preceeds SCC
Presents clinically as leukoplakia, erythroplakia, or speckled leukoplakia

means disordered growth
