A lipoma is a benign tumor made of fat tissue. [1] They are generally soft to the touch, movable, and painless. [1] They usually occur just under the skin, but occasionally may be deeper. [1]
A buccal exostosis is an exostosis (bone prominence) on the buccal surface (cheek side) of the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or mandible.More commonly seen in the maxilla than the mandible, buccal exostoses are considered to be site specific. [2]
Mucous retention cyst in maxillary sinus indicated by the asymmetrical blue lump to the right of the nose. The most common location to find a mucocele is the inner surface of the lower lip. It can also be found on the inner side of the cheek (known as the buccal mucosa), on the anterior ventral tongue, and the floor of the mouth.
Swelling can be observed in the right cheek. Periapical cysts begin as asymptomatic and progress slowly. Subsequent infection of the cyst causes swelling and pain. Initially, the cyst swells to a round hard protrusion, but later on the body resorbs some of the cyst wall, leaving a softer accumulation of fluid underneath the mucous membrane.
A lump may be felt, which may feel hard if there is still bone covering the cyst, or fluctuant if the cyst has eroded through the bone surrounding it. [5] A cyst may become acutely infected, and discharge into the oral cavity via a sinus. Adjacent teeth may be loosened, tilted or even moved bodily. [6]
The primary sign is a growing bump that may have a rough, scaly surface, and flat, reddish patches. Unlike basal-cell carcinoma, cSCC carries a higher risk of metastasis than does basal-cell carcinoma, and may spread to the regional lymph nodes , [ 31 ]
Fibrous papule of the nose is a harmless small bump on or near the nose. It is typically dome-shaped, skin-colored, white or reddish, smooth and firm. [1] [2] Less frequently it can occur elsewhere on the face. [3] Sometimes there are a few. [1] It may be shiny and remains unchanged for life. There may be a central hair. [3]
Dermatofibromas [4] are hard solitary slow-growing papules (rounded bumps) that appear in a variety of colours, usually brownish to tan. They are often elevated or pedunculated . A dermatofibroma is associated with the dimple sign ; by applying lateral pressure, there is a central depression of the dermatofibroma.
