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...

Actinomycosis is an anaerobic infection that involves the craniofacial region and its colonization has rarely been reported in the developmental odontogenic cysts. In the present report, a case of odontogenic keratocyst (which is now called keratocystic odontogenic tumor) with the colonization of actinomyces is introduced and its significance is discussed.

OBJECTIVE Cystic ameloblastoma, keratocystic odontogenic tumor, dentigerous cyst, and radicular cyst are the most commonly encountered cystic odontogenic lesions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expressions of survivin, E-cadherin, CD138, and CD38 in these lesions and their potential diagnostic usage. MATERIAL AND METHOD A total of 20 cases, consisting 5 radicular cysts, 5 dentig...

Objective: Odontogenic tumors show a distinct geographic variation. In 2005 a new WHO classification was published which included odontogenic keratocyst as one of the odontogenic tumors, renaming it as a keratocystic odontogenic tumor. To our knowledge there are only few studies based on 2005 classification in Asian subcontinent. This study was done to determine the relative frequency of odonto...

Renaming of the Odontogenic Keratocyst as the Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor by the World Health Organization (WHO) is based on the aggressive nature of this lesion. Satellite cysts founded in the walls of the original cysts may give rise to a new lesion formation. The aim of this retrospecitve study was to identify the existence of specific features according incidence of satellite cysts and t...

Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is a rare lesion that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws. Most PIOSCCs originate from epithelial lining of odontogenic cysts, especially from radicular, residual, and dentigerous cysts. A few cases have been shown to arise from keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs). This is a report of a case of PIOSCC that arose from an untreated kerat...
