“…Macule: It is characterized as a circumscribed, flat area of discoloration in the skin or mucosa that is less than 10 mm in diameter (Figure 1). 7,10 According to another definition, it should be smaller than 5 mm in diameter. 3,11 However, Bricker described that, macules occur in the same plane of the skin/ mucosa and may be of any size.…”

Introduction: Lesion description has a key role in correct diagnosis and timely treatment. The aim of this study was to review of morphological descriptive terms, which are used in oral lesion description. Methods: An electronic search of the literature was conducted in various database including: Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct, and Scopus databases, for relevant articles using the following keywords: "oral lesion", "terminology", "semiology", "glossary", "morphology", "primary lesion", "basic lesion", "dermatology" ,"oral medicine", and "stomatology". About 60 articles were found; out of which, 45 were relevant to our topic of interest. Finally, we included 22 articles that were closely related to the topic of interest. In addition, 4 text books were also used in this study. Results: After data collection, the following 20 descriptive morphological terms were found. These terms divided into two groups as primary and secondary lesions: (1) Primary lesion: macule, patch, papule, plaque, nodule, tumor, weal (or hive), vesicle, bullae, pustule, abscess, cyst, purpura (petechia & ecchymosis), and hematoma. (2) Secondary lesion: erosion, ulcer, sinus, fistula, and scar. Conclusions: The correct and updated descriptive terminology should be considered by dentists in oral examination.

“…Cutaneous tumors of the skin frequently associated with significant long‐lasting pain include the cavernous hemangioma of the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, eccrine spiradenoma, neural tumors (traumatic or amputation neuroma), glomus tumor, angiolipoma, and leiomyoma—remembered by the acronym Bengal 6 . Li‐pomas of the adiposis dolorosa syndrome (Dercum's disease) are also associated with pain.…”

Excessive exposure to the sun has been related to the development of various types of skin cancer, but use of sunscreen decreases the risk. The present project was designed to empirically examine psychosocial factors in sunbathing and sunscreen use. One hundred twenty sunbathing and nonsunbathing beachgoers were interviewed about their health practices, knowledge about skin cancer, moods, and social rewards obtained through sunbathing. They also completed several relevant personality questionnaires. Data were considered using a theoretical perspective combining aspects of health belief, social influence, social learning, and risk-taking models. Results indicate that sunbathing is clearly related to having a positive attitude toward risk taking, having little knowledge about skin cancer, reporting a relaxed mood, having friends who sunbathe, and engaging in activities related to maintaining a positive physical appearance. Sunscreen use is related to sex, having knowledge about skin cancer, knowing people who have had cancer, and reporting high levels of anxiety. The implications of these findings for the design of intervention strategies and for the future study of health-compromising behaviors are discussed.
