4 - odontogenic infections Flashcards
odontogenic cysts
can occur singly or can be associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS)
may mimic a primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, residual cyst or lateral periodontal cyst
developmental cyst
odontogentic keratocyst
Odontogenic keratocyst (developmental)
common/uncommon
benign/malignant
symph/asymph
relatively common
benign - but more aggressive compared to other odontogenic cysts
usually asymptomatic
developmental cysts - odontogenic cysts
peak incidence 3rd decade - slight declining incidence in subsequent decades
anterior maxilla favored after 70 years old
no cases under 10 year olf unless patient has syndrome
OKC - odontogenic keratocyst
developmental
mandible 2:1
cheesey material usually noted at time of surgery
odontogenic keratocyst
odontogenic keratocyst most common to least common locations
49% - posterior mandible 20% - posterior maxilla 13% - anterior maxilla (70) 9% - anterior mandible 7% - premolar mandi 2% - premolar maxilla
2:1 mandible
radiographic features
majority (80%) unilocular radiolucences with well-demarcated margins and a thin sclerotic border
can hollow-out mandi without expansion, however can be expansile and symptomatic
only 20% exhibit multiocular appearance
OKC - odontogenic keratocyst
histopathologic features
uniformly thin epithelial lining of stratified squamous epithelium 8-10 cells thick
corrugated parakeratin surface
palisaded basal cell layer
devlopmental odontogetic keratocyst
need these 3 histo features
CT wall usually not inflammed - if inflammation is present - history of epi markedly altered
tx for odontogenic keratocyst
controversial and depends on size of lesion
smaller - enucleate in one piece
larger - marsupialization followed by enucleation
odontogenic keratocyst Px and recurrence
guarded px
3-62% recurrence
average - 30% recurrence
most recurrences within 5 years and follow annually at least 7years
a complex hamartoneoplastic/malformation syndrome exhibiting over 100 different signs and symptoms related to the skin, CNS and skeletal system
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
NBCCS - nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
multiple basal cell carcinomas and odontogenic keratocysts arising at an early age
Gorlin and Goltz published a paper that brought attention to the condition
condition known as Gorlin syndrome or Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (Europe)
Autosomal Dominant, chromosome 9, with complete penetrance and extremely variable expressivity
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
40% of cases are new mutations related to PTCH gene
500+ cases reported
OKCs of the jaws develop in at least 75% of affected patients (may begin in 1st decade, affter age 7)(may be single or multiple - more likely to have syndrome if multiple)
nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
enlarged occipitofrontal circumference (60cm or more in adults)
heavy brows ridges - frontal bossing
broad nasal root
mild ocular hypertelorism (wide-set)
skin - milia and multiple epidermal cysts 50%
1-2mm shallow pits of the palms and/or soles 65%
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma carcinoma syndrome
basal cell carcinomas that
- are multiple
- occur in unexposed, as well as exposed skin
- develop at an earlier age (puberty- 35 years)
- often show melanin pigmentation
- are usually quiescent, with a few being aggressive
nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
radiographic features
lamellar calcification of the falx cerebri 85%
bifid, fused or hypoplastic ribs 60%
multiple OKCs maxilla, mandible or both
nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
