A systematic review of the literature from 1993 to 2011 was undertaken examining frequency data of the most common odontogenic cysts and tumors. Seven inclusion criteria were met for the paper to be incorporated. In the preliminary search 5231 papers were identified, of these 26 papers met the inclusion criteria. There were 18 297 odontogenic cysts reported. Of these there were 9982 (54.6%) rad...

introduction: a keratocystic odontogenic tumor is a benign intra-bone mass originating from dental lamina or its residue. it represents 2–11% of jaw cysts, and has a slow but aggressive growth. the evaluation of molecular characteristics, immunohistochemistry, and genetic expression currently have no established classification regarding the evolution and pathophysiologic pattern of these lesion...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) derived from keratocystic odontogenic tumor is an extremely rare tumor that is limited to the jaws. Most intraosseous carcinomas originate from the epithelial lining of odontogenic cysts, so they are called odontogenic carcinomas. They occur more frequently in men and the mean age of patients is 57 years. The following report describes an extremely rare case of an ...

The aim was to review previous cases of Odontogenic Keratocyst or Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor according to the new WHO classification. We used all cases diagnosed as Odontogenic Keratocyst or Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor registered in the archives of the Pathologic Anatomy Laboratory of the Department of Pathology and Oral Diagnosis of the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of R...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess and compare angiogenesis in ameloblastoma, keratocystic odontogenic tumors, dentigerous cysts, and normal oral mucosa. METHODS Angiogenesis was assessed in 28 ameloblastoma-36 keratocystic odontogenic tumors, 28 dentigerous cysts, and 19 normal oral mucosa by measuring the mean vascular density (MVD), total vascular area (TVA) and mean vascul...

INTRODUCTION Keratocystic odontogenic tumors are benign neoplasms of odontogenic origin with a potential for aggressive and infiltrative behavior. Many different treatments for this type of lesion have been reported. However, no common consensus has emerged to date regarding the most effective therapeutic approach. Cases of maxillary sinus giant keratocystic odontogenic tumors completely excise...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The keratocystic odontogenic tumor is a benign but aggressive neoplasm. As enucleation alone obtains high recurrence rates, some adjuvant treatments such as Carnoy's solution have been proposed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reduction of recurrences with the use of Carnoy's solution as adjuvant in the treatment of keratocystic odontogenic tumors. MATERIAL...

The keratocystic odontogenic tumor is a benign odontogenic cystic neoplasia characterized by its thin, squamous epithelium with superficial parakeratosis. It has the potential for infiltration and local aggressiveness and has a high rate of recurrence. This neoplasia is predominantly found in males and people of white origin. The mandible is the most frequently involved site, in particular the ...
