  3. outcomes By the end of this lecture, the student will be able to understand the pathology of gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity

  4. THE PATHOLOGY OF THE ORAL CAVITY

  5. Benign Neoplasms: PAPILLOMA: Squamous papilloma is a benign, exophytic epithelial neoplasm composed of branching fronds of squamous epithelium with fibrovascular cores.

  6. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) • SCC is the most common malignant tumor of the oral mucosa. • Pathology: SCC of the oral cavity is similar to the same tumor in other sites.

  7. ULCERS OF THE ORAL CAVITY • Dental ulcer: traumatic ulcer by a sharp tooth • Aphthous ulcer: very common Painful, recurrent, solitary or multiple, small ulcers. The lesion consists of a shallow ulcer covered by a fibrinopurulent exudate and inflammatory infiltrate. • Tuberculous ulcer: an ulcer with undermined edges and caseous floor. It most commonly develops at the tip of the tongue. Coughed sputum containing bacilli leads to infection of the tongue • Malignant ulcer: the ulcer edges are raised and everted, the floor of ulcer is rough, necrotic and the base of the ulcer is indurated.

  8. Salivary Glands

  9. ENLARGEMENT: • Unilateral enlargementof major salivary glands is usually caused by cysts, stones, inflammation, or neoplasms. • Bilateral enlargementis due to inflammation (mumps, Sjögren syndrome), granulomatous disease (Saroidosis), or diffuse neoplastic involvement (leukemia or malignant lymphoma).

  10. SIALOLITHIASIS: • Stonesoccur in salivary gland ducts, mostly in the sub-mandibular gland. The most important consequence of stone formation is duct obstruction, often followed by inflammation distal to the occlusion.

  11. MUMPS • Acute viral parotitis. Mainly affecting children, rare in adults • Eitiology: Mumps virus, transimitted by droplet infection. Incubation period: 2-4 weeks

  12. Benign Salivary Gland Neoplasms

  13. A- Pleomorphic Adenoma (Mixed Tumor) Pathology: • Pleomorphic adenoma is a slowly growing, painless, movable, firm mass that has a smooth surface. • Microscopically: the tumors show epithelial tissue intermingled with myxoid or chondroid areas, reflecting a mixture of epithelial and mesenchymal components.

  14. Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors

  15. Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: • Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a malignant salivary gland tumor composed of a mixture of neoplastic epidermoid cells, mucus-secreting cells, and epithelial cells of an intermediate type. Grossly: • Mucoepidermoid carcinoma grows slowly and presents as a firm painless mass. Microscopically: • Tumors form irregular solid, duct-like and cystic spaces, which include squamous cells, mucus-secreting cells, and intermediate cells.

  16. Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: • Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a slowly growing salivary gland malignancy with a tendency to invade locally and recur after surgical resection.

  17. Pathology: • The tumor cells are small, have scant cytoplasm, and grow in solid sheets or as small groups, strands, or columns. • Within these structures, the tumor cells interconnect to enclose cystic spaces, resulting in a solid, tubular or cribriform (sieve-like) arrangement.

  18. ESOPHAGUS

  19. Congenital disorders: • Tracheosophageal fistula: congenital connection between the esophagus and trachea • Esophageal webs: web-like protrusions of the esophageal mucosa into the lumen • Achalasia: failure of the lower esophageal spincter (LES) to relax with swallowing

  20. Esophageal varices: • Diltated submucosal veins in the lower third of the esophagus, usually secondry to portal hypertension. • Cause: liver cirrhosis • Clinically: massive hematemesis when ruptured • Complication: potentially fatal hemorrhage

  21. Esophagitis

  22. Gasteroesophageal reflux disease (reflux esophagitis) • Esophageal irritation and inflammation due to reflux of gastric secretion into the esophagus. • Clinically: heart burn and regurgitation • Complications: • Bleeding • Stricture • Barrette esophagus

  23. ESOPHAGEAL CARCINOMA

  24. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)of esophagus • SCC is the most common type of esophageal cancer Risk factors: • Heavy smoking • Alcohols • Achalasia Clinical presentation: • At the beginning it may be asymptomatic • Then progressive dysphagia • Weight loss & anorexia • Bleeding

  25. Adenocarcinoma (AC) of esophagus: • Arise in the distal part of the esophagus • Associated with Barrett esophagus (Metaplasia of the squamous esophageal mucosa to columnar type because of chronic exposure to gastric secretions)
