The mouth appears fishlike, with downward sloping of the lip commissures.

Patient has malocclusion with an evident open bite.

300

A developmental defect characterized by an opening between the oral and nasal cavities due to failed fusion during embryonic growth 

What is Cleft Palate


300

 This condition displays numerous enlarged blood vessels positioned just below the epithelium, accounting for its characteristic red papules on the tongue.

What is Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia 


300

Excess growth hormone production by the anterior pituitary gland; most often caused by a benign tumor that produces growth hormones – pituitary adenoma.    Macroglossia----

What is Gardner Syndrome 


400

Cyclic Neutropenia

Neutropenia means: Abnormally low count of neutrophils

  • Genetic

  • Cyclic means relating to cycles


What is no cure , supportive care - antibiotics.


400

A 4-year-old patient presents with generalized gingival hyperplasia noted since infancy. The gingiva is now so enlarged that all teeth are fully covered.The extensive hyperplasia has caused lip protrusion.


What is Inherited Gingival Fibromatosis (IGF)?

400

1. Basal cells arranged in nests or islands.

2. Cysts of the jaws are microscopically Odontogenic Keratocysts. 

3. Dark spots on palms and soles are basal cell carcinomas.

What is Cleidocranial Dysplasia?


500

A 4 year old patient comes in with bilateral facial swellings on the mandible. Mom says it's been slowly growing since he was 1.5 years old.

On the radiographs, it looks like bilateral “soap-bubble” or multilocular radiolucencies

What is Von Recklinghausen disease?

500

Presence of osteomas on the skull, maxilla, and mandible that can expand and cause facial asymmetry 

What is Gardner syndrome?

500

Disordered growth that is premalignant with hyperplasia of the basal and epithelial cells, hyperchromatic nuclei, increased number of mitotic figures. Usually precedes squamous cell carcinoma

What is mild epithelial dysplasia?

500

6 year old patient comes in for a routine exam. On EO exam, mild ocular hypertelorism (distance between eyes), mild prognathism, and a broad nasal root are noted.

When the pano is taken, multiple OKCs are seen on the mandible.
