chpt 15- odontogenic cysts and tumors ppt Flashcards
develops from separation of follicle around a crown
dentigerous cyst
Most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst
dentigerous cyst
character of dentigerous cyst
encloses crown of an unerupted tooth and is attached to the tooth at the CEJ
How will the dentigerous cyst appear radiographically
Well defined radiolucency around the crown of an impacted or unerupted tooth; > 3.0mm from crown to edge of RL
Dentigerous cyst demographics
M > F, 10-30 years, Whites > Blacks
Can dentigerous cyst cause resorption of adjacent tooth
yes
clinical features of dentigerous cyst
- usually asymptomatic
- found on routine examination
- RARELY CAUSES EXPANSION
are DCs UL or ML?
- Large DC may give the impression of a multilocular process due to persistence of bone trabeculae within the radiolucency
- DC are grossly and histopathologically unilocular processes
Treatment for DC
- Curettage of cyst with or without extraction of impacted tooth
- No recurrence expected
- Large DC may be treated by marsupialization which permits decompression of the cyst, with a resulting reduction in size of the bone defect
most common location for DC
Mandibular 3rd molar
Maxillary canines
Maxillary 3rd molars
Mandibular 2nd premolars
histology for DC
SSE with cyst wall devoid of inflam-mation
IROE
Soft tissue analogue of DC
eruption cyst
Separation of the dental follicle around the crown of a developing tooth within the soft tissue overlying alveolar bone
eruption cyst
Soft, translucent swelling in gingival mucosa overlying the crown of tooth in kids < 10
eruption cyst
Surface trauma may result in considerable blood (eruption hematoma)
eruption cyst
treatment for eruption cyst
- may not be required due to spontaneous rupture, allowing tooth to erupt
- simple excision of roof of cyst if it doesn’t erupt
Grow antero-posterior direction within medullary bone without expansion
OKC
most common location for OKC, where it is found 60-80% of the time
-mandible- body and ascending ramus
demographics
- males > females
- 60% bwn 10-40
Histology for OKC
1) uniformly thin 6-8 cell layers of epithelium
2) no rete pegs
3) prominent basal cell layer
- can be parakeratin or orthokeratin
- high recurrence rate
treatment for OKC
- Enucleation & curettage
- Peripheral ostectomy
- Chemical cauterization after cyst removal
- Decompression
Multiple BCCa Odontogenic keratocysts Rib and vertebral anomalies Intracranial calcifications Palmar & plantar pits
Basal cell carcinoma syndrome
Small superficial keratin-filled cysts on alveolar mucosa of infants
gingival cyst of the newborn
Common in ½ of newborns and disappear spontaneously by rupture into oral cavity
gingival cyst of the newborn
Gingival cyst name if they are found on midline of palate
Epstein pearl
Gingival cysts if they are scattered on hard or soft palate
Bohn’s nodules
where are gingival cysts more commonly found- max or manx?
maxilla
Treatment for Gingival cysts, Epstein pearls, or Bohn’s nodules
none; self rupture; rarely seen after 3 mo
Soft tissue counterpart of LPC located on the facial gingiva
gingival cyst of the adult
what color is gingival cyst of adult
bluish
most common location for gingival cyst of the adult
75-80% on mand canine/premolar
Derived from dental lamina (rests of Serres)
Adults in 5-6th decades; rare before 30
Most cyst less than 1 cm
gingival cyst of the adult
Arise from rests of dental lamina or proliferation of REE along lateral root
lateral periodontal cyst
demographics and location of LPC
Males > 30
Mandibular canine/premolar region
Less common maxillary lesions seen in same location
polycystic appearance; may have multilocular appearance
Grossly and microscopically, they show a grapelike cluster of small individual cysts
Botryoid odontogenic cyst - subtype of LPC; associated w/higher recurrence rate
Cuboidal epithelial cells with foci of glycogen rich cells
Thickening of epithelial lining
LPC histology
other names for calcifying odontogenic cyst
Gorlin cyst
Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor
Calcifying ghost cell odontogenic cyst
age and location of COC
- mand = max
- 65% found in incisor canine region
- avg age 33 and most dx’d in 2-3 decades
what age is associated w/COC assoc w/odontomas found in
17 yrs
radiographic appearance of COC
- usually well defined UL RL, occasionally ML; associated w/unerupted tooth (usually canine)
- RL lesion w/calcified structures
size of COC
2-4cm
Is root resorption seen with COC?
Yes, also see divergence of adjacent teeth
what else can COC be mistaken for clinically?
gingival fibromas, gingival cysts, or peripheral gingival lesions
histology of COC
- well defined cystic lesion w/fibrous capsule and 4-10 cell layers thick of odontogenic epithelial lining
- ameloblast like epithelial cells w/cuboidal or columnar basal layer
- GHOST cells: altered epithelial cells characterized by loss of nuclei w/preservation of cell outline (large eiosinophilic)
