Lichen planus mucosae: white papules and plaques of the buccal mucosa, which condense at the end of the teeth. sporadically also splatter-like whitish papules. the mucosal changes have existed for a few months and occurred in the context of an exanthematic lichen planus.
Lichen planus mucosae. the histological changes are largely identical with those of the LP of the skin. dense lichenoid infiltrate (epitheliotropy usually not as pronounced as in lichen planus of the skin) mainly consisting of lymphocytes; compact orthohyperkeratosis with low parakeratosis.
Glossitis rhombica mediana: Chronic inpatient, painless, slightly raised, sharply defined, red lump in the middle of the back of the tongue in a 50-year-old patient, existing since birth.
abscess. periodontal abscess. acute, 0.8 cm large, strongly pressure-dolent, bulging elastic, cystic, smooth lump of the palatal marginal mucosa in the area of the second premolar and the first molar, existing for 14 days. the probing depth was 11 mm palatally on the first molar. immediate improvement of the symptoms after the incision.
Hyperplasia, focal epithelial. In the 34-year-old Turkish patient, several flat papules have been present in the area of the mucosal side of the lower and upper lip for about 6 months. Histologically, the picture of a benign acanthoma with features of viral genesis was shown. HPV-13 was detected in the HPV typing.
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum: Unusual infestation of the lip mucosa with symptomless, yellowish-white deposits, which correspond to the elastotic collagen changes of the mucosa.
Lichen planus mucosae. small spots (splashes) of white or opaline stains and papules of the buccal mucosa, which condense to flat plaques at the end of the teeth. the mucosal changes have been present for 6 months and do not cause any significant discomfort.
Lichen planus mucosae. 64-year-old, otherwise healthy woman. no skin lesions. mucous membrane lesions affect only the back of the tongue and the edges of the tongue or bds. whitish plaque affecting the entire surface of the tongue with an irregularly fielded surface. fruity drinks cause a burning pain and are avoided.
Phlebektasia of the tongue, distinct, varicose dilatation of the veins of the tongue with attached, circumscribed cavernous blue ectasia (caviar tongue).
Verrucae vulgares: linearly arranged, broad-based, white-grey, symptomatic papules (Remark: in a moist mucosal environment all cornification processes - whether inflammatory or neoplastic - turn grey-white, the cause is relatively simple: the horny layer stores a lot of water - as can be seen when bathing the palms of the hands for a longer period of time - and thus obtains this opalescent colouring, which is not transparent for the "colour red"; the normal cheek mucosa does not cornify, so it remains transparent, the red colour of the mucosa shimmers through).
