Depending on the ages in which they develop, the cysts are classified into gingival cyst of newborn (or infant) and gingival cyst of adult. [1] Structurally, the cyst is lined by thin epithelium and shows a lumen usually filled with desquamated keratin, occasionally containing inflammatory cells. The nodes are formed as a result of cystic ...
Desquamative gingivitis is a descriptive clinical term, not a diagnosis. [1] Dermatologic conditions cause about 75% of cases of desquamative gingivitis, and over 95% of the dermatologic cases are accounted for by either oral lichen planus or cicatricial pemphigoid. [1]
Peripheral giant-cell granuloma (PGCG) is an oral pathologic condition that appears in the mouth as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation or trauma. Because of its overwhelming incidence on the gingiva , the condition is associated with two other diseases , pyogenic granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma .
Periapical cysts begin as asymptomatic and progress slowly. Subsequent infection of the cyst causes swelling and pain. Initially, the cyst swells to a round hard protrusion, but later on the body resorbs some of the cyst wall, leaving a softer accumulation of fluid underneath the mucous membrane. [citation needed]
The epithelial cell rests of Malassez presented in the roots surface, principal location of the LPC, play a role in LPC formation. [8]Several additional theories had been proposed regarding the origin of lateral periodontal cysts, including the possibility that the lesions may arise as a result of pulpal infection manifesting itself in a lateral position or chronic periodontal disease ...
Gingival enlargement has a multitude of causes. The most common is chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement, when the gingivae are soft and discolored. This is caused by tissue edema and infective cellular infiltration caused by prolonged exposure to bacterial plaque, and is treated with conventional periodontal treatment, such as scaling and root planing.
Plasma cell gingivitis in an adult (histologically verified). Plasma cell gingivitis [ 1 ] [ 2 ] is a rare condition, [ 3 ] appearing as generalized erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) of the attached gingiva , occasionally accompanied by cheilitis (lip swelling) or glossitis (tongue swelling).

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 .
