Benign Tumors of Oral Cavity Tumors of the oral cavity are very diversified. Only a select few can be discussed here. A fibroma may be found on the gingiva, lips, palate, and buccal mucosa. It is hard or soft and pale or reddish, depending on the density of collagen and the abundance of vascular elements. The gingival fibroma (fibrous epulis) is usually derived from the periosteum. It is sessile or pedunculated, well defined, and slow growing. The papilloma is soft and pedunculated or, when arising from an area of leukoplakia, hard with a warty, keratinized epithelium. The epithelial projections may grow beyond the basal layer and may occasionally curl inward into the stroma and become fixed at their bases, suggesting that they are potentially malignant. They are found in the same areas as the fibromas and also on the tongue. The hemangioma, either cavernous or capillary in structure, is primarily seen on the tongue but may arise in any part of the mouth from blood vessel endothelium. It may be congenital or familial, or it may develop at a later period in life. Multiple hemangiomas can occur anywhere in the mucous membrane of the intestinal tract, but the lip, tongue, gum, and rectum are sites of predilection. The color is light red to dark purple, with a tendency to blanch on pressure. Some large hemangiomas appear more globular than flat and are lobulated on their free mucosal surfaces, with a tendency toward displacement of bone by osteolysis. Extension occurs through endothelial proliferation along the nourishing blood vessels, usually more widespread than is apparent on clinical inspection. Significant blood loss has been reported from incidental minor procedures such as tooth extractions. The benign giant cell tumor, or epulis, is a not uncommon gingival or, more rarely, an intraosseous growth, which originates from the periodontal membrane or periosteum and has a tendency to recur unless this tissue is widely excised. The superficial form is apparently an exaggerated granulation process, with numerous giant cells eroding the bone trabeculae; older lesions contain more adult fibroblasts and fewer hemorrhages. Extravasation of erythrocytes releasing hemoglobin, which is transformed to hemosiderin, explains the occasional brown color. The central giant cell tumor may show features of resorptive inflammation but behaves like a neoplasm and may be identical to the giant cell tumor of the long bones, though it has little relation to giant cell sarcoma. The tumor can, however, infiltrate bone and displace teeth. It is nonencapsulated but does not metastasize. Essentially, it is composed of spindle cells with a varying amount of collagen fibers, hemorrhagic debris, and multinucleated cells. Occasionally, a giant cell tumor on the gum or in the bone is a manifestation of hyperparathyroidism. The so-called pregnancy “tumor” is a hyperplasia, developing in the course of a chronic gingivitis, which is not infrequently observed in pregnant women but sometimes also with other hormonal alterations (e.g., puberty). Bleeding, particularly of the interproximal papillae, with light raspberry to dusky red coloration, is an early sign, followed by a hypertrophic swelling of the papillary gingiva, ranging from a slight bloating to a tumor of 1 to 2 cm. It may envelop more than one tooth. The growth regresses with proper oral hygiene and adjusted toothbrush technique, though surgery may be required because of constant bleeding. Generally, tumors that are not too large disappear after delivery. The ameloblastoma, sometimes termed adamantinoma or adamantoblastoma, is an epithelial neoplasm occurring chiefly in the mandible (region of the third molar, ramus, or premolar, in that order of frequency); it belongs to the group of odontogenic tumors (as do the myxoma and cementoma) (not illustrated). According to generally accepted belief, the ameloblastoma originates from remnants of the enamel or dental lamina, but from less differentiated cells (preameloblasts) than those producing a follicular cyst. The tumor is mostly polycystic, sometimes monocystic, and occasionally solid. It is this solid form that on rare occasions has been found to metastasize. The growth of this other-wise benign tumor is very slow. Microcystic infiltration, roentgenologically revealed by tiny locules or notching, enlarges the jaw; the only sign is often a tiny bony capsule distending the surrounding tissue. Eventually, expansion into the orbit, antrum, and even cranium may take place. The most common variety, microscopi- cally recognizable, is the ameloblastic type, character- ized by follicles resembling enamel, with its outer layer of cylindrical cells and stellate reticuloma in the center. Occasionally, solid strands of undifferentiated cells or sheaths of stellate cells or an accumulation of squamous and prickle cells may be found. A microscopic descriptive grading of ameloblastoma is necessary for proper management of each case and for the choice between local or radical removal. The recurrence rate of ameloblastoma is extremely high, but true malignancy is extremely low. Made up of mixed ectodermal and mesodermal tissue, the odontoma, also odontogenic in origin, may be a hard or soft tumor, depending upon the presence or absence of calcified accretions. The hard odontoma is composed of abnormally arranged enamel, dentin, and cementum, in a soft fibrous matrix that is gradually replaced by the calcified elements, leaving a capsule. Complex odontomas contain a bizarre conglomeration of hard structures without finite shape; compound odontomas include both rudimentary and apparently normal supernumerary teeth, at times numbering several dozen. These structures may erupt and imitate the normal dentition. Myxoma of the jaw (not illustrated), derived from embryonal tissue of the dental papilla, is also a benign odontogenic tumor, as is the cementoma, a special form of fibroma, which appears usually at the apices of the lower anterior teeth. Multiple cementomas appear only in women, suggesting an estrogenic influence. Osteoma (not illustrated) is a compact osteogenic tumor, and fibroosteoma is a diffuse one. Both are slow-growing benign neoplasms; a conservative surgical approach is used when the tumors may lead to deformities.

Oral Manifestations in Hematologic Diseases Though oral manifestations in hematologic disorders typically appear after disease progression, bleeding from or texture or color changes of the oral mucosa can be the presenting symptom. The prominent oral signs of thrombocytopenic purpura include widespread capillary oozing from the gingival margin of all the teeth. From adherent clots a fetid odor may emanate. Spontaneous hemorrhages of greater severity may arise, especially in areas of inflammation. Petechial spots also appear as purplish red patches on the lips and other mucosa. Erosion and ulcerations are seen only in debilitated, advanced cases. In the acute phases of agranulocytosis, ulcerative lesions of the mouth and pharynx, accompanied by dysphagia, are frequently seen and may be the initial presentation of the disease. The disease may be acute or chronic (cyclic and recurrent); it may be primary or a sequel of a systemic infection, hormonal dysfunction, or idiosyncratic drug reaction. Because the myeloid cells are arrested in maturation, the mucous membranes are subject to rapid invasion of bacteria. With sudden onset the oral mucosa is involved by necrotic ulcers, which show little or no surrounding erythema. All types of gingivitis and stomatitis with gangrenous areas have been observed in the pharynx, tonsils, and hard palate. Malodourous breath and excessive salivation can be seen in severe presentations. The frequency of oral lesions in chronic leukemia is appreciable and varies considerably in severity. Beginning insidiously, pallor of the mucous membrane may be followed by soft hypertrophy and ulceration of the gingivae, with spontaneous bleeding, and fusospirochetal infection in necrotic papillae, producing a foul odor. A blackish, pseudomembranous exudate may cover the tongue, gingivae, and fauces. Enlargement of the gingiva begins usually in the lower interior region. Teeth may loosen, and pulpal liquefaction or abscessed pulps with odontalgia may appear. In the lymphatic form the lymphoid structures of the floor of the mouth and tongue, together with the submandibular lymph nodes, may become enlarged. In general, the acute leukemias produce symptoms more severe than the chronic variants. In polycythemia vera (erythremia, or Vaquez disease), the skin and oral tissues show a vivid purplish red discoloration. Superficial vessels are distended, and the gingivae are swollen and bleed frequently. Petechiae are often noted. In pernicious anemia, the oral mucosa accepts a pale or greenish yellow color, except for the tongue, which is bright red. The latter is in a state of chronic inflammation, characterized by irregular, fiery-red patches resembling a burn, near the tip and the lateral margins (Hunter or Moeller glossitis). A sensation of burning, itching, or stinging is always present, and patients complain of paroxysmal pain or tenderness to food intake or to cold and hot fluids. These symptoms appear in the early stages of pernicious anemia, sometimes prior to or during periods of hematologic remission. The later stages of the oral manifestations, including the gradual loss of the papillae and progressive atrophy of the tongue, are rarely encountered. Tongue manifestations of the disease must be distinguished from other forms of glossodynia and glossopyrosis, from allergic lesions, from the lingual anifestations in syphilis, and from geographic tongue.
Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to elucidate the safety and effectiveness of acemannan, a polysaccharide extracted from Aloe vera, in the treatment of oral aphthous ulceration. Design: A skin patch test was performed on 100 healthy subjects, and 0.5% acemannan in Carbopol® 934P NF (Lubrizol Corporation, USA) was applied to the oral mucosa of the lower lip of 50 healthy participants 3 times/day for 7 days. Oral examinations and blood tests measuring liver and kidney function were performed prior to, and following, 7 days of application to assess the side-effects of acemannan when used on oral mucosa. Another 180 subjects with recurrent aphthous ulceration randomly received one of three treatments: 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide (HOE Pharmaceuticals, Malaysia), 0.5% acemannan in Carbopol® 934P NF, or pure Carbopol® 934P NF. Medications were applied to the ulcers 3 times/day for 7 days. Measurements of ulcer size and patient satisfaction ratings were performed on days 2, 5, and 7. Pain ratings were recorded daily. Results: No subjects exhibited allergic reactions or side-effects to acemannan. There were no significant differences between the blood test values before and after 7 days of acemannan application. The effectiveness of acemannan in reducing ulcer size and pain was superior to that of control, but inferior to that of 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide. Patients were mostly satisfied with 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide and acemannan treatment. Conclusions: Acemannan can be used for the treatment of oral aphthous ulceration in patients who wish to avoid the use of steroid medication, although the effectiveness was not comparable to that of 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide.

Noma affects the most marginalized communities in the world, beginning as oral ulceration and rapidly progressing to orofacial gangrene. With a mortality rate estimated to be as high as 90% and with very few able to access treatment in its active phase, very little is understood about the disease. This retrospective review of patients treated by Facing Africa for deformity and functional impairment secondary to noma between May 2015 and 2019 highlights some of the difficulties encountered by those afflicted. Eighty new patients with historical noma defects were identified and were seen over the course of nine surgical missions, with notes providing valuable geographical, socioeconomic, and psychosocial information. The mean self-reported age of onset was 5 years and 8 months, with a median time of 18 years from onset to accessing treatment. Before intervention, 65% covered their face in public, 59% reported difficulty eating, 81% were unhappy with their appearance, and 71% experienced bullying. We aimed at emphasizing the significant burden, both psychologically and physically of noma, demonstrating the disparity between recent decades of progress in the well-being of Ethiopians in general and the access to health care and mental health support for some of those most in need.
