This is the second article in a 2-part series on the variations of oral mucosa. We describe the following 5 conditions that deviate from normalcy: lateral soft palate fistulas, double lip, fissured tongue, racial gingival pigmentation, and geographic tongue.

Investigation was performed on healthy and inflamed human gingivae. In the healthy mucosa lymphatic vessels generally appeared as flattened channels with a reduced lumen. Only in very inflamed tissue were some more evident vessels with a distended wall detectable. Ultrastructurally, most of the vessels had the characteristics of capillaries and they were delimited by a thin and irregular endothelial wall with large intercellular spaces. These observations indicate that in the gingival tissues, which are continuously exposed to inflammatory agents and need a really efficient draining system, the pathway of interstitial exudation and cell migration may include both the lymphatic vessel system and the intercellular spaces of the permeable junctional epithelium.
