===Hyperplastic===
  −
====Polychlorinated Napthalene Poisoning====
  −
Hyperplastic proliferative pathology
  −
*Polychlorinated biphenyl's (PCB's).
  −
*Used in all sorts of things.
  −
*Do not break down in environment and very toxic. 
  −
*Poisoning was classically seen as proliferative stomatitis when PCB used to lubricate feed pellet making machine.
  −
*Vitamin A antagonist produces hyperkeratosis of mouth (like Vitamin A deficiency).
  −
===Papular===
  −
====Orf====
  −
*[[Poxviridae|Pox]] infection
  −
*Quite a common '''zoonotic''' disease
  −
Papular proliferative pathology
  −
=====Clinical=====
  −
*In sheep produces a proliferative nodule/papular mass on [[Lips - Anatomy & Physiology|lips]]
  −
*In flocks in which it is endemic it is seen in lamb
  −
*If flock is non-immune seen in ewes too but much worse in lambs (may spread to inside of mouth)
  −
*Can spread to udder of ewe
  −
  −
=====Pathology=====
  −
*Poxvirus infections produce local infection of [[prickle cells]] in epithelium with proliferation of cells and formation of papule followed by ulceration / necrosis and covered by necrotic epithelium
  −
*Eventually scabs form and crust drops off
  −
*Scabs - very infectious ( N.B.if touch -> catch it)
  −
  −
====Bovine Papular stomatitis====
  −
[[Image:BPS.gif|right|thumb|125px|<small><center>Ring Zone Lesions of BPS - Calf (Courtesy of Alun Williams (RVC))</center></small>]]
  −
*Parapox virus
  −
*Very similar disease to orf but seen in cattle and generally milder condition. 
  −
*'''Must be differentiated from [[#Foot and Mouth disease|Foot and Mouth Disease]] and [[#Bovine Viral Diarrhoea / Mucosal disease|Mucosal Disease.]]'''
  −
*Sporadic, in cattle, less than 1 year old.
  −
*Develop papules on the muzzle, external nares and in the [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]]; the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] and [[Stomach and Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|forestomachs]] may also be affected. 
  −
*Usually heals spontaneously.
  −
=====Pathogenesis=====
  −
*The early lesions are round areas of intense congestion up to 1.5 cm in diameter.
  −
*The centre becomes necrotic and slightly depressed.
  −
*Slow peripheral extension of this lesion gives a classical ring zone formation with concentric rings of
  −
**yellow (necrosis),
  −
**grey (epithelial hyperplasia)
  −
**red (congestion).
  −
=====Histology=====
  −
*There are focal areas of hydropic degeneration in the stratum spinosum
  −
*Large eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion
  −
*Epidermis is markedly thickened.
  −
*The superficial layers of the epithelium become necrotic and slough.
  −
*''Vesicle formation is not a feature of this disease.''
  −
  −
====Papilloma====
  −
  −
===Neoplastic===
  −
====Squamous cell carcinoma====
  −
[[Image:oral squamous cell carcinoma.jpg|right|thumb|125px|<small><center>'''Oral squamous cell carcinoma'''. Courtesy of T. Scase</center></small>]] neoplastic
