 © 2001-2009, DermAtlas | Image Name: | cyclosporine_induced_gingival_enlargment_1_090518 | File Type: | jpg | |
| Diagnosis: | CYCLOSPORINE INDUCED GINGIVAL HYPERPLASIA / GINGIVAL HYPERPLASIA / DRUG REACTION / GINGIVAL HYPERPLASIA, CYCLOSPORINE INDUCED | Category: | dental/oral disorder / drug reaction / treatment complication | ||
| Body Site: | gingiva | Age: | 33 years | ||
| Contributor: | Roshna Thattankandy, MD | ||||
| Description: | thickening of the gingiva with some crusting and hemorrhage | ||||
| Comments: | This 33-year-old man complained of progressive thickening of his gums associated with bleeding and difficulty chewing food for 6 months. Two years earlier he was diagnosed with aplastic anemia and started on cyclosporine which has been associated with gingival hyperplasia. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | MORSICATIO / CHEEK BITING | Category: | dental/oral disorder | ||
| Body Site: | buccal mucosa / mouth | Age: | 30 years | ||
| Contributor: | James Scuibba | ||||
| Description: | thickened shredded areas of hyperkeratosis | ||||
| Comments: | This young adult was a chronic cheek chewer. These changes are found most commonly on the buccal mucosa, but the labial mucosa and lateral border of the tongue may also be involved. Zones of white thickening of the mocosa may be found with intervening erosions and ulceration. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | TATTOO, AMALGAM / TATTOO | Category: | deposition disorders / dental/oral disorder / hyperpigmentation | ||
| Body Site: | mouth, floor of | Age: | 59 years | ||
| Contributor: | Greg Hosler, MD, PhD | ||||
| Description: | The mucosa appears normal. In the submucosa, there is an ill-defined hyperpigmented area. | ||||
| Comments: | This 59 year old woman had a pigmented lesion biopsied from the floor of her mouth to rule out melanoma. This is a common scenario for amalgam tattoos. These lesions develop when metals from dental work leach into the soft tissues. Common metals implicated are silver, mercury, aluminum, etc. On histology, the pigment may be black, brown, or golden. The main differential diagnosis is a melanocytic lesion, like a blue nevus, but the tattoo pigment is acellular and often accentuated on elastic fibers. | ||||

| Body Site: | mouth, floor of | Age: | 59 years | ||
| Contributor: | Greg Hosler, MD, PhD | ||||
| Description: | The pigment is golden brown, with variably-sized fibers. The pigment appears extracellular and is accentuated in an elastin pattern. Black granular pigment was found more superficially (not shown). There is no significant inflammatory response. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | CROHN DISEASE / PERLECHE / GRANULOMATOUS REACTION / CHEILITIS | Category: | granulomatous disorder / cutaneous sign of systemic disease / dental/oral disorder / gastrointestinal disorder | ||
| Body Site: | buccal mucosa / mouth | Age: | 13 years | ||
| Contributor: | James Scuibba | ||||
| Description: | A biopsy of the buccal mucosa revealed focal and diffuse chronic inflammation with scattered non-caseating epitheloid granulomas. Special stains were negative for acid fast bacteria, fungus, and polarizing microscopy was negative for foreign material. | ||||
| Comments: | These changes are consistent with but not specific of Crohn disease. | ||||
