===Hyperplastic===
 
====[[Polychlorinated Napthalene Poisoning]]====
 
===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====

*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
