Mucous retention cyst in maxillary sinus indicated by the asymmetrical blue lump to the right of the nose. The most common location to find a mucocele is the inner surface of the lower lip. It can also be found on the inner side of the cheek (known as the buccal mucosa), on the anterior ventral tongue, and the floor of the mouth.
The most common sites affected are the buccal mucosa, the labial mucosa and the alveolar mucosa, [30] although any mucosal surface in the mouth may be involved. [2] The clinical appearance, including the surface texture and color, may be homogeneous or non-homogeneous (see: classification ).
a. Early lesions, blanching of the oral mucosa; b. Older lesions, vertical and circular palpable fibrous bands in and around the mouth or lips, resulting in a mottled, marble-like appearance of the buccal mucosa; Stage 3: Sequelae of oral submucous fibrosis a. Leukoplakia; b. Speech and hearing deficits
Alveolar mucosa, the lining between the buccal and labial mucosae. It is a brighter red, smooth, and shiny with many blood vessels, and is not connected to underlying tissue by rete pegs. [6] Buccal mucosa, the inside lining of the cheeks; part of the lining mucosa. Labial mucosa, the inside lining of the lips; part of the lining mucosa. [7]
Table 1 provides age-standardised incidence and mortality rates for oral cancer based on the location in the mouth. The location 'other mouth' refers to the buccal mucosa, the vestibule and other unspecified parts of the mouth. The data suggests lip cancer has the highest incidence rate while gingival cancer has the lowest rate overall.
Acinic cell carcinoma is a malignant tumor representing 2% of all salivary tumors. 90% of the time found in the parotid gland, 10% intraorally on buccal mucosa or palate. The disease presents as a slow growing mass, associated with pain or tenderness in 50% of the cases. Often appears pseudoencapsulated.
It is almost 2023 and yet somehow we are still finding new and highly specific ways to make people feel bad about their bodies. The latest? Buccal fat. More distinctly, buccal fat removal is ...
The lesions are located on the mucosa, usually bilaterally in the central part of the anterior buccal mucosa and along the occlusal plane level (the level at which the upper and lower teeth meet). Sometimes, the tongue or the labial mucosa (the inside lining of the lips) is affected by a similarly produced lesion, termed morsicatio linguarum ...
