Non-HPV Papillary Lesions of the Oral Mucosa: Clinical and Histopathologic Features of Reactive and Neoplastic Conditions.

Head Neck Pathol

Excluding human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven conditions, oral papillary lesions consist of a variety of reactive and neoplastic conditions and, on occasion, can herald internal malignancy or be part of a syndrome. The objectives of this paper are to review the clinical and histopathological features of the most commonly encountered non-HPV papillary conditions of the oral mucosa. These include normal anatomic structures (retrocuspid papillae, lingual tonsils), reactive lesions (hairy tongue, inflammatory papillary hyperplasia), neoplastic lesions (giant cell fibroma), lesions of unknown pathogenesis (verruciform xanthoma, spongiotic gingival hyperplasia) and others associated with syndromes (for instance Cowden syndrome) or representing paraneoplastic conditions (malignant acanthosis nigricans).

The retrocuspid papillae: a clinical evaluation of 51 cases.

J Dent Hyg

December 2003

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Louisiana State University School of Dentistry, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to increase the knowledge of dental hygienists and dentists of a normal anatomic gingival structure, the retrocuspid papillae (RCP), so that patients can avoid clinical misinterpretation and unnecessary biopsies.

Methods: In a three-part study, dental hygienists were surveyed on their knowledge of the RCP via questionnaire. Oral examinations of adult patients in a dental hygiene clinic were performed to obtain data on the RCP, and detailed clinical information from the pathology reports of surgically removed RCPs were tabulated.
