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.
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]
Irritation fibroma is a type of fibroma that occurs on the mucosa of the oral cavity. [2] Irritation fibromas are common benign tumors that are asymptomatic and resemble scarring. They are caused by prolonged irritation in the mouth, such as cheek or lip biting, rubbing from teeth, and dental prostheses.
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.
STK typically occurs in the buccal sulcus (inside the cheek) or the labial sulcus (between the lips and the teeth) and corresponds to the site where the tobacco is held in the mouth. [6] It is painless. [7] The appearance of the lesion is variable depending upon the type of tobacco used, and the frequency and duration of use. [6]
This term describes only the location of a lump and has no implication on the histologic appearance of a lesion. [3] Epulis is also sometimes used synonymously with epulis fissuratum, [ 1 ] however other conditions are classified as epulides, e.g. giant cell epulis ( peripheral giant cell granuloma ), ossifying fibroid epulis ( peripheral ...
The disease occurs on the bone-bound oral mucosa of the hard palate and alveolar ridges. Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia is usually asymptomatic. It presents as a cluster of individual papules or nodules that may be erythematous, somewhat translucent, or normal in surface coloration. Mucosa is erythematous and has a pebbly or papillary surface.
Giant-cell fibromas are commonly located on the gingiva.The tongue is the second most common location, followed by the palate or buccal mucosa.Giant-cell fibromas are usually asymptomatic and appear as 0.5-1cm pedunculated or sessile lesions with a pebbly or bosselated surface.
