Ch15-Odontogenic Cysts Flashcards
Dentigerous cysts can occur at any age, but mostly in…Age? Gender? Ethnicity?
10-30 yrs, male, white
Can there be expansion with a dentigerous cyst?
usually not, but if it gets large enough, yes
Pathogenesis of a dentigerous cyst is accumulation of fluid between the tooth crown and the ________?
reduced enamel epithelium
What are the 9 developmental odontogenic cysts?
- dentigerous cyst 2. eruption cyst 3. odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) 4. Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst 5. gingival (alveolar) cyst of the newborn 6. gingival cyst of the adult 7. lateral periodontal cyst 8. calcifying odontogenic cyst 9. glandular odontogenic cyst
What are the 3 inflammatory odontogenic cysts?
- periapical (radicular) cyst 2. residual periapical (radicular) cyst 3. buccal bifurcation cyst
Can a dentigerous cyst have odontogenic epithelial rests in the cyst wall?
yep, can fool some into thinking ameloblastoma
How many cell layers thick is a typical dentigerous cyst?
2-4 layers
What are three possible entities that a dentigerous cyst can transition into?
ameloblastoma, SCC, intraosseous mucoepidermoid ca (arising from mucous cells lining the cyst)
What is the soft tissue analogue of a dentigerous cyst? What is its lining?
eruption cyst..a thin layer of non-keratinizing epithelium
If an eruption cyst undergoes trauma, it can become blood filled and blue…what is it then often called?
eruption hematoma
What was the 1970’s term for an OKC?
Primordial cyst (developed from the dental primordium aka dental lamina)
The OKC arises from….
the cell rests of the dental lamina
OKC shows increased expression of _____ and ____ IHC in the suprabasilar layer
PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) and Ki-67
What is the genetic alteration in 30% of sporatic OKCs and 85% of OKCs found in nevoid basal cell carcinoma (Gorlin) syndrome?
PTCH1 (patch one)
About 60% of OKCs are diagnosed in age? gender? site?
10-40 years old, male, posterior mandible
Are OKCs associated with expansion??
no, typically develop in the medullary space of bone
If an OKC presents in the maxillary midline what is the differential and what age group is it compatible with?
nasopalatine duct cyst and aged 70
Rarely what can be seen in the wall of an OKC?
Cartilage!
The agreed upon recurrence rate for OKC? Where are they most likely to recur? When are they most likely to recur?
30%, posterior mandible / ramus, less than 5 years after surgery, but cases of 10 years documented too
What is the name of the chemical cautery agent sometimes used by surgeons to destroy OKCs?
Carnoy’s solution (banned in some hospitals)
OrthokeratinizED odontogenic cyst (OOC) age? gender? location?
young males posterior mandible
What are the 2 main distinguishing factors between an OKC and an OOC?
OOC has 1. keratohyaline granules and 2. NO basal palisading
Whats the recurrence rate for an OOC?
2%
Genes involved in NBCC (Gorlin) Syndrome? Which chromosome? Type of inheritance?
Patched (PTCH)..9q22.3-q31…Autosomal Dominant
What percent range of affected patients in NBCCS represent NEW mutations?
35-50%
When do BCCs start to show up in a pt with NBCCS? Where do they typically apppear (2 locations-1 is general, 1 specific)
Puberty or 2nd-3rd decades (CAN develop in children-holy shit)..areas NOT exposed to sunlight, also on midface area
In pt’s with NBCCS what is the typical age of the first RESECTION of an OKC?
19 years old, just an average
