| Core Tip |
During esophagogastroduodenoscopy, various lesions other than squamous cell carcinoma can be detected in the oral cavity and pharyngolaryngeal regions. These include dental caries, cleft palate, palatal torus, bifid uvula, compression by cervical osteophytes, tonsil hyperplasia, black hairy tongue, oral candidiasis, oral and pharyngolaryngeal ulcers, pharyngeal melanosis, oral tattoos associated with dental alloys, retention cysts, papilloma, radiation-induced changes, skin flaps, vocal cord paresis, and vocal fold leukoplakia. Endoscopists must possess adequate knowledge about these lesions and promptly identify and diagnose them during an endoscopic examination. |
