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 ...
The results of nasal reconstruction using the paramedian forehead flap are quite good, although some patients report functional difficulties. Airway passage difficulties, mucosal crusts, dry mucosa, and difficulties with smelling are uncommon. [5] A minority of the patients reported snoring more often or having a spontaneous nose bleed more ...
Although not entirely understood, CIMDL is thought to be caused mainly by the vasoconstricting effects of cocaine, which induces ischemia and subsequent necrosis of the mucosal lining, followed by damage to nasal cartilaginous and bony structures. [2]
The mucosal lining of the trachea may also be injured by inhalation of hot gases or harmful fumes such as chlorine gas. [17] This can lead to edema (swelling), necrosis (death of the tissue), scar formation, and ultimately stenosis. [17] However, TBI due to inhalation, foreign body aspiration, and medical procedures is uncommon. [17]
Smokeless tobacco keratosis (STK) [4] is a condition which develops on the oral mucosa (the lining of the mouth) in response to smokeless tobacco use. Generally it appears as a white patch, located at the point where the tobacco is held in the mouth. The condition usually disappears once the tobacco habit is stopped.
The diagnosis of lymphocytic esophagitis is made by biopsy of the mucosal lining of the esophagus. This is typically achieved at the time of esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a medical procedure wherein an endoscope is inserted through the mouth, into the esophagus, in order to visualize and biopsy the mucosa.

Inner mucosal lining of the cheek is transplanted onto the new surface of the eye; A canine or premolar tooth and part of the adjacent bone and ligaments are removed; A bolt-shaped structure is fashioned from the tooth-bone complex which is fitted with a plastic optical cylinder
A Cameron lesion is a linear erosion or ulceration of the mucosal folds lining the stomach where it is constricted by the thoracic diaphragm in persons with large hiatal hernias. [1] The lesions may cause chronic blood loss resulting in iron deficiency anemia ; less often they cause acute bleeding.
