abstract

keratocystic odontogenic tumor (kcot) is a benign intraosseous neoplasm of the jaw occurring most commonly in mandibular ramus molar area with male predilection. peripheral kcots are very uncommon. here we report a case of keratocyst in buccal mucosa in a 55 years old female patient, the diagnosis of which was based on subjective histological evaluation and further confirmed by immunohistochemical stain and compared its immunohistochemical features with intraosseous kcot. intraosseous kcot and buccal mucosa keratocyst were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, picrosirous red, ck 17, bcl 2 and ki 67, and compared. keratocyst of buccal mucosa showed positive expression for ck17 and ki 67, and negative expression of bcl2. on polarizing microscope, it showed yellowish red birefringence of collagen fibers in connective tissue wall. keratocyst in the buccal mucosa is rare. though it mimics intraosseous counterpart histopathologically, the nature of connective tissue and low proliferation index makes it less destructive. therefore, it requires only conservative excision with follow up.

A Rare Odontogenic Tumor Known as Cementoblastoma; A Case Report

Background: Odontogenic tumors are derived from the epithelial and/or mesenchymal remnants of the tooth-forming apparatus. Therefore, they are found exclusively in tooth-bearing areas. Similar to other neoplasms in the body, odontogenic tumors tend to histologically mimic the cell or tissue of origin. Case history: A 5-year-old boy presented with a chief complaint of pain in the mandible whi...

Solitary fibrous tumor of buccal mucosa: A rare entity

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a quite uncommon tumor that commonly occurs in the pleura but occasionally involves an oral cavity. We are reporting this rare case in the oral cavity. The diagnosis depends on microscopic and immunohistochemical features. Patients with these tumors can be carefully treated with local excision, but tumors with...

Bilateral Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor: A rare case report

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times} Abstract   Background and Aim:  Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) accounts for less than 3% of all odontogenic tumors. It commonly occurs in anterior region of maxilla associated with an impacted tooth. Multifocal odontogenic lesions are uncommon and have only been observed in conditions associated with known genetic mutations. To...

A Keratocyst in the Buccal Mucosa with the Features of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor

A 74-year-old male patient consulted us for an elastic firm mass in the right buccal mucosa. CT examination revealed a well-circumscribed oval cystic lesion in the anterior region of the masseter muscle. On MRI, the lesion showed a low signal on T1-weighted image and a high signal on T2-weighted image. Aspiration biopsy demonstrated the presence of squamous cells in whitish liquid. Under the di...

Giant Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor of the Mandible – A Case Report

BACKGROUND The keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a relatively rare, benign neoplasm which develops in the maxilla or mandible, arising from the dental lamina or basal cells of the oral epithelium. It is often found incidentally and brings about late symptoms as it does not cause bone distension for a long time. CASE REPORT The presented case is of a young woman with a giant keratocysti...
