INTRODUCTION Vallecular cysts (VCs), also known as epiglottic mucous retentions or base of the tongue cysts, are ductal cysts resulting from obstruction and retention of mucus in the collecting ducts of the submucosal glands located at the base of the tongue. VCs are covered with ductal cells rather than with acinar cells, and this supports the hypothesis that they are dilated ducts and not dis...

Background: A dentigerous cyst is the second-most frequently observed odontogenic cyst, and an ameloblastoma one of most tumors. Both are mostly associated with impacted mandibular third molar have similar characteristics. Diagnostic difficulties often result in misdiagnosis remain a challenge to overcome. Comprehensive clinical, radiographic, histopathological views essential correctly diagnos...

OBJECTIVE To report an unusual case of oral hyaline ring granuloma (HRG) that caused an extensive osteolytic lesion. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 22-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a large expansile cystic lesion in the left mandibular ramus associated with a clinically visible, partially erupted third molar. A diagnosis of paradental cyst was made. After marsupi...

Dentigerous cyst is reported to be one of the most common odontogenic cysts of the jaws.(12) The most commonly involved teeth are mandibular third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary third molars and rarely maxillary anteriors.(23) This case report is about the management of a dentigerous cyst associated with a mandibular second molar (37) in a 9-year-old girl by a conservative treatment plan ...

Introduction: Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are relatively rare. A very busy otolaryngology department does not have more than a few cases each year. Bilateral, multiple, and multiloculated cases are extremely unusual. Case Presentation: We report a 74-year-old man with two separate mucoceles in left ethmoid and frontal sinuses with pansinusitis. After marsupialization of mucoceles and fun...

Ranula is a cystic fluid filled cavity that caused by extravasation of the sublingual gland at floor mouth. originates in body gland, especifically Rivinus ducts and occasionally minor salivary glands mouth .There are variety treatment modalities for ranula including aspiration fluid, sclerotherapy, marsupialization, incision drainage, excision only, with or without ranula. In this article we p...

The purpose of this paper is to review the features and behaviour of the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), now officially known as the keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT); to analyze a series of histologically confirmed KCOT cases; and to review and discuss the redesignation of KCOT and the implications for treatment. Redesignation of the OKC as the KCOT by the World Health Organization (WHO) is...

Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cystic lesions of inflammatory origin and are managed either by surgical enucleation or by marsupialization. We illustrate the possibility of complete healing of cystic periapical lesions in permanent and mixed dentition with conservation of vital structures. This article aims to report two clinical cases of radicular cysts of huge proportion trea...
