Objective. The aim of this paper is to present an uncommon clinical and radiographic aspect of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) mimicking paradental cyst. Methods. A 32-year-old female patient showed a well-delimited radiolucent lesion connected with the root of the left third molar with close anatomical relationship with the mandibular canal. The clinical, radiographic, and anamnestic features lea...

Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor has been defined by the World Health Organization as a benign intraosseous neoplasm of odontogenic origin with characteristic lining of the parakeratinized squamous epithelium. Due to variable features of this lesion pertaining to clinical and biologic behaviour, this tumor is been studied extensively even today with respect to its molecular aspects to resolve man...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to investigate the relative frequency of developmental odontogenic cysts in an iranian population. materials and methods. in this study 245 cysts from both jaws, treated in the faculty of dentistry at tabriz university of medical sciences during a 10-year period from 1998 to 2008, were analyzed in order to evaluate the incidence of such cysts. we h...

recognized type of developmental odontogenic cyst. This lesion is more common in adults (1,2). Cohen et al. (2) reported an equal sex distribution, but other studies have reported a male preponderance (3,4). Differential diagnosis between lateral periodontal cyst and collateral keratocyst must be done by evaluating the clinical and histological data. It is also difficult to distinguish lateral ...

This review will highlight some current areas of difficulty or controversy in diagnosis and treatment of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) has significant growth capacity and recurrence potential and is occasionally indicative of the NBCCS. The objective of this study is to clarify the causes of the recurrence of OKC in NBCCS. A literature search was...

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a cyst of tooth origin with an aggressive clinical behavior including a high recurrence rate. It has been rechristened to Keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT), as it better reflects its neoplastic nature. We report 2 contrasting cases of KCOT in association with impacted teeth and revisit the various treatment modalities used to tackle the aggressive nature and...

The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a rare developmental jaw cyst. Recognition of OOC as a unique entity has long been due, yet its inexplicable radiographic presentation resembling dentigerous cyst, histological likeness to odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and inconsistent cytokeratin expression profiles overlapping with both as well as with the epidermis, makes it rather confounding. D...
