Microvessel density in follicular cysts, keratocystic odontogenic tumours and ameloblastomas.
PURPOSE Multicystic ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor that exhibits a more aggressive behavior than follicular cyst and keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT). The aim of this study was to perform an immunohistochemical evaluation of the mean microvessel density (MVD) effect on clinical behavior of odontogenic lesions and to determine whether peritumoral or intratumoral MVD ...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of Unicystic Odontogenic Tumors for Differentiation of Unicystic Ameloblastomas from Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumors
Objective Differentiating unicystic ameloblastomas from keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOT) is necessary for the planning of different treatment strategies; however, it is difficult based on conventional CT and MR sequences alone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) in the differentiation of t...
متن کاملDiagnostic and treatment features of keratocystic odontogenic tumors
Keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOT) comprise a unique pathological entity characterized by aggressive/destructive behavior and propensity to recurrence. This study describes the diagnostic and treatment features of a KCOT lesion. A 22-year old man was referred for surgical treatment of pericoronitis on tooth no. 37. Panoramic radiography revealed a unilocular, large radiolucent area extendin...
متن کاملCell proliferation and apoptosis in ameloblastomas and keratocystic odontogenic tumors.
A high proliferative activity of the odontogenic epithelium in ameloblastoma (AM) and keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KOT) has been demonstrated. However, no previous study has simultaneously evaluated cell proliferation and apoptotic indexes in AM and KOT, comparing both lesions. The aim of this study was to assess and compare cell proliferation and apoptotic rates between these two tumors. Sp...
متن کاملClinical, radiological and therapeutic features of keratocystic odontogenic tumours: a study over a decade
Factors associated with the potential for recurrence of keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOT) still remain to be clearly determined and no consensus exists concerning the management of KCOT. The purpose of this study was to evaluate different clinical factors associated with KCOT and its treatment methods. A retrospective review was performed of 55 cases treated from 2001 to 2010. Of the 55 c...
