1. A 20 year old male patient had a lacerated wound on his arm, which was sutured. A week later, the sutures
were removed but the healing continued. Later, within 2 months the site of the wound was disfigured by a
prominent raised, nodular scar. Histopathologicaly, excess collagen deposition was seen. What process
occurred?
A. Organisation
B. Dehiscence
C. Resolution
D. Keloid formation

2. A 20 year old female complained of a growth behind her upper teeth. Clinical examination revealed a
smooth-surfaced pink nodular mass of the palatal gingiva between the cuspid and first bicuspid. Lesion was
excised. Histopathological examination showed the surface of the lesion covered by layer of stratified
squamous epithelium which appeared stretched with shortening & flattening of rete pegs. Identify this
tumour
A. Schwannoma
B. Lipoma
C. Fibroma
D. Fibrohistiocytoma

3. A 34 year old male patient complains of a nodular mass in the floor of the mouth which was present since
8 months. Biopsy of the lesion was done. Histopathological examination revealed two types of cells.
Streaming fascicles of spindle-shaped cells forming a palisaded arrangement around central acellular,
eosinophilic (Verocay bodies) were seen. The other area was less cellular and less organized, random
arrangement of cells within a loose myxomatous stroma. Identify this lesion.
A. Schwannoma
