Expansile keratocystic odontogenic tumor in the maxilla: immunohistochemical studies and review of literature
Keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOT) - previously termed odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) - are characterized by aggressive behavior and a high rate of recurrence. Histopathologically, the basal layer of KCOT shows a higher cell proliferation rate and increased expression of anti-apoptosis genes. Clinically, KCOT is frequently involved in the mandibular posterior region but is not common in the ...
متن کاملGiant Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor: Three Cases and a Literature Review
Introduction: A keratocystic odontogenic tumor is a benign intra-bone mass originating from dental lamina or its residue. It represents 2–11% of jaw cysts, and has a slow but aggressive growth. The evaluation of molecular characteristics, immunohistochemistry, and genetic expression currently have no established classification regarding the evolution and pathophysiologic pattern of these lesion...
متن کاملKeratocystic Odontogenic Tumor: Case Reports and Review of Literature
The lesion traditionally known as odontogenic keratocyst has been renamed by WHO in 2005, as “keratocystic odontogenic tumor” as it is more appropriate and reflects its potential for local, destructive behavior. It is a benign intraosseous neoplasm of jaw, which is unusual due to its characteristic histopathological and clinical features, including potentially aggressive behavior, high recurren...

متن کاملKeratocystic Odontogenic Tumor with an Ectopic Tooth in Maxilla
The term odontogenic keratocyst was first used by Philipsen in the year 1956. The lesion was renamed by him as keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) and reclassified as odontogenic neoplasm in the World Health Organization's 2005 edition that occurs commonly in the jaws having a predilection for the angle and ascending ramus of mandible. In contrast, KCOTs arising in the maxillary premolar regi...
