Question | Answer |
---|---|
Little white or reddish ulcer | aphtha |
outer scab like layer of solid matter formed by drying of a body exudate or secretion | crust |
closed, epithelial-lined sac, normal or pathologic, that contains fluid or other material | cyst |
outermost and nonvascular layers of skin | epidermis |
the dermis or true skin just beneath the epidermis | corium |
soft tissue slightly depressed lesion in which the epithelium above the basal layer is denuded | erosion |
read area of variable size and shape; reaction to irritation, radiation, or injury | erythema |
growing outward | exophytic |
benign bony growth projecting from surface of bone | exostosis |
narrow slit or cleft in epidermis where infected ulceration, inflammation, and pain can result | fissure |
unknown etiology | idiopathic |
hardened; abnormally hard | indurated |
use of finger and thumb of same hand | bidigital |
use of a single finger | digital |
use of finger or fingers and thumb from each hand applied simultaneously in coordination | bimanual |
the two hands are used at same time to examine corresponding structures on opposite sides of body | bilateral |
lesion limited to small focal area | localized |
involves most of area or segment | generalized |
one lesion of particular type with distinct margin | single lesion |
more than one lesion of a particular type | multiple lesions |
discrete, not running together; may be arranged in clusters | separate |
close to each other with margins that merge | coalescing |
lesion above the plane of skin or mucosa, considered blisterform or nonblisterform | elevated lesion |
lesion that contains fluid, usually soft and translucent | blisterform |
blisterform lesion, small 1cm or less, this surface covering, may contain serum or mucin & appear white | vesicle |
blisterform lesion, may be more or less than 5mm in diameter, contains pus that gives yellowish color | pustule |
blisterform lesion, large/more than 1cm, filled with fluid, usually mucin or serum, may contain blood | bulla |
lesion that is solid and does not contain fluid | nonblisterform |
nonblisterform lesion, small/pinhead to 5mm in diameter, solid and may be pointed, rounded, or flat topped | papule |
nonblisterform lesion, larger than papule (greater than 5mm but less than 1cm) | nodule |
nonblisterform lesion, 2cm or greater in width, general swelling or enlargement, does not refer to neoplasm, either benign or malignant | tumor |
nonblisterform lesion, slightly raised with broad, flat top, usually larger than 5mm in diameter, "pasted on" appearance | plaque |
lesion below level of skin or mucosa | depressed lesion |
most depressed lesion, represent loss of continuity of epithelium, center is often gray to yellow, surrounded by red border, may result from rupture of elevated lesion | ulcer |
shallow, depressed lesion, does not extend through epithelium to underlying tissue | erosion |
lesion that is on same level as normal skin or oral mucosa, may occur as single or multiple lesions | flat lesion |
circumscribed area not elevated above surrounding skin or mucosa, may be identified by color, which contrasts with surrounding normal tissues | macule |
resembles small, nipple shaped projection or elevation | papillary |
loose membranous layer of exudate containing organisms, precipitated fibrin, necrotic cells, and inflammatory cells produced during inflammatory reaction o surface of tissue | pseudomembrane |
any mass of tissue that projects outward or upward from normal surface skin | polyp |
marked with points or dots differentiated from surrounding surface by color, elevation or texture | punctate |
bony elevation or prominence usually found on midline of hard palate | torus |
rough, wart-like | verrucous |
