MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which descriptive term is described as a segment that is part of the
whole? a. Bulla
b. Vesicle
c. Lobule
d. Pustule
ANS: C
A lobule is described as a segment or lobe that is part of a whole. A bulla is a large,
elevatedlesion that contains serous fluid and may look like a blister. A vesicle is a small,
elevated lesion that contains serous fluid. Pustules are circumscribed elevations containing
pus.
REF: Vocabulary, Clinical of Soft Tissue Lesions, page 1 OBJ: 1
2. A lesion with a sessile base is described as
a. an ulcer.
b. stemlike.
c. pedunculated.
d. flat and broad.
ANS: D
Sessile describes the base of a lesion that is flat and broad. An ulcer is a break in the surface
epithelium. A stemlike lesion is referred to as pedunculated. A pedunculated lesion is
stemlikeor stalk- based (similar to a mushroom).
REF: Vocabulary, Clinical Appearance of Soft Tissue Lesions, page 1OBJ: 1
3. Which condition is not diagnosed through clinical appearance?
a. Mandibular tori
b. Fordyce granules
c. Black hairy tongue
d. Compound odontoma
ANS: D
The compound odontoma is initially identified radiographically as a radiopaque area in
whichtooth structure can be identified. No clinical component exists. Mandibular tori are
identified clinically as areas of exostosis on the lingual aspects of mandibular premolars.
Fordyce granules are yellow clusters of ectopic sebaceous glands diagnosed through clinical
appearance. Black hairy tongue is diagnosed clinically. The filiform papillae on the dorsal
tongue elongate and become brown or black. Causes include tobacco, alcohol, hydrogen
peroxide, chemical rinses, antibiotics, and antacids.
