Oral
Pathology - It is very important to have the oral cavity
examined for soft tissue changes. The inside of the mouth is
normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is
smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this
appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological
process. The most serious of these is oral cancer. The
following can be signs at the beginning of a pathologic
process or cancerous growth: Reddish patches (erythroplakia)
or whitish patches (leukoplakia) in the mouth, a sore that
fails to heal and bleeds easily, a lump or thickening on the
skin lining the inside of the mouth, chronic sore throat or
hoarseness, and difficulty in chewing or swallowing.
These changes can be detected on the lips, cheeks, palate,
and gum tissue around the teeth, tongue, face, and/or neck.
Pain does not always occur with pathology, and, curiously, is
not often associated with oral cancer. However, any patient
with facial and/or oral pain without an obvious cause or
reason may also be at risk for oral cancer. We would
recommend performing an oral cancer self-examination
monthly, and remember that your mouth is one of your body's
most important warning systems. Do not ignore suspicious
lumps or sores; please contact us so we may help. |
