the calcifying odontogenic cyst (coc) is a rare odontogenic cyst. only 2% of all odontogenic cysts and tumors are coc. coc associated with odontoma (cocao) reported in 24% of cocs. cocao presents a greater incidence in female, with a ratio of 2 to 1. the highest incidence of cocao occurs during the second decade with a mean age of 16 years, most frequently occurring in the maxilla (61.5%). here...

BACKGROUND Keratin-producing odontogenic cysts (KPOCs) are a group of cystic lesions that are often aggressive, with high rates of recurrence and multifocality. KPOCs included orthokeratinised odontogenic cyst (OOC) and parakeratotic odontogenic cysts, which are now considered true tumours denominated keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs). GLUT1 is a protein transporter that is involved in t...

Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crown of the tooth and typically develop from single lesions. Bilateral and multiple dentigerous cysts are very rare and occur in patients with syndromic conditions. This paper presents a case report of a 15-year-old male patient that experienced non-syndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts that simultaneously occurred in ...

IMPORTANCE Pediatric jaw cysts represent a rarely symptomatic clinical entity and are not well addressed in the otolaryngology literature. It is important that otolaryngologists should be familiar with these lesions, which can manifest as jaw swelling or as paranasal sinus abnormalities. OBJECTIVE To review the clinical presentation, radiologic features, management, and outcomes of jaw cysts ...

background: tnf-α is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine and tgf-β1 is a secretory protein controlling epithelial proliferation and differentiation. keratocyst presents an aggressive behavior and a growth mechanism different from that of radicular cyst. aim: in this line, the present study aimed at evaluating tnf-α and tgf-β1 level and its association with histopathological findings in t...

The term residual cyst is used most often for retained radicular cyst from teeth that has been removed. Residual cysts are among most common cysts of the jaws. The location of all odontogenic cysts is usually intraosseous. The peripheral (extraosseous) presentations are rare. The peripheral presentation of residual cyst has never been reported in the literature. In this article, the role of CT ...

Although odontogenic keratocysts are common in clinical practice, the simultaneous occurrence of multiple cysts in both the maxilla and mandible of a patient is rare. We report a case of an otherwise healthy individual who developed 17 cysts over 15 years.

Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic jaw cysts, commonly manifesting in the second and third decades of life. Very few of these cysts have been reported in children younger than 10 years of age. This article describes a rare case of dentigerous cyst in a 1-year-old boy, the youngest case to be documented. The clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features are discussed; the incr...

PURPOSE Chronic maxillary sinusitis of dental origin (CMSDO) is a common disease that requires treatment of the sinusitis as well as of the odontogenic source. We present our surgical experience performing contemporary treatment of the odontogenic source and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients with CMSDO. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventeen patients with CMSDO underwent contemporary treatme...
