Area of Science:

  • Anatomy and pathology of the upper aerodigestive tract.

Background:

  • The oral cavity and oropharynx form the upper aerodigestive tract.
  • Pathologic processes in these regions present differently, impacting prognosis and histologic grading.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the normal anatomy of the oral cavity, vestibule, oral cavity proper, sublingual, and submandibular spaces.
  • To present the diverse pathologic processes affecting these areas and common diagnostic pitfalls.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive review of normal anatomy.
  • Discussion of various pathologic conditions and their characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of oral cavity and oropharyngeal anatomy.
  • Categorization of common pathologies and associated challenges.

Conclusions:

  • Distinguishing between oral cavity and oropharyngeal pathologies is essential due to differing clinical behaviors.
  • Awareness of anatomical spaces and common pitfalls aids in managing diseases of these regions.
