19
Q

describe primordial cysts

A
  • radiographic dx only
  • radiographic term for a cyst that develops in place of a tooth
  • likely to be an OKC
  • found in an area of a congenitally missing tooth
20
Q

what is the DDX for primordial cyst

A

residual cyst

21
Q

describe OKCs

A
  • posterior jaws of teenagers, young adults
  • aggressive growth with 30% recurrence
  • a unilocular or multilocular radiolucency; imitates other lucencies
22

23
Q

what is the histology for an odontogenic keratocyst

A
  • compact epithelium, no rete ridges, 8 to 10 cell layers thick
  • corrugated surface parakeratin
  • prominent, palisaded, hyperchromatic basal layer
24
Q

what is the histologic presentation of an OKC

A
  • epithelium is thin
  • basal cell layer is really dark
  • keratin is wavy
25
Q

what is the significance of the odontogenic keratocyst

A
  • aggressive behavior
  • recurrence- 30%
  • nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
26
Q

what is the cause of non-syndrome associated OKC

A

idiopathic

27
Q

what is the cause of syndrome associated OKC

A

multiple OKCs common in the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome

28
Q

what is the other name for nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome

A

gorlin syndrome

29
Q

describe nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome

A
  • basal cell nevus syndrome
  • gorling-goltz syndrome
  • gorlin syndrome
  • autosomal dominant- highly penetrant and variably expressive
  • mutation in PTCH tumor suppressor gene at 9q22.3
30
Q

what are the features of the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome

A
  • skeletal anomalies: bifid ribs
  • jaw cysts: multiple OKCs
  • skin tumors: multiple, early onset, basal cell carcinomas
  • neoplasms- CNS- medulloblastoma
31
Q

when do multiple basal cell carcinomas in nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome occur

A

early in life

32
Q

what should you do in early recognition and dx of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome

A
  • OKCs present early
  • prevent disfiguring basal cell carcinomas
  • evaluate for medulloblastoma
33
Q

describe the orthokeratinizing odontogenic cyst

A
  • a developmental odontogenic cyst with an orthokeratin lining, NOT parakeratin
  • originally described as the “orthokeratinized variant of the odontogenic keratocyst”
  • does not behave as an odontogenic keratocyst- no recurrence
34
Q

what is the difference between histology of OKC and OOC

A
  • OKC is wavy and palisading
  • OOC is not wavy and not palisading
35
Q

describe the calcifying odontogenic cyst (Gorlin cyst)

A

  • anterior jaws of adults
  • radiolucent to mixed
  • ghost cells
  • sometimes associated with odontomas
36
Q

describe the glandular odontogenic cyst

A

-sialodontogenic cyst- an odontogenic cyst with glandular (salivary) features
- anterior jaws of middle aged adults, mandible > maxilla
- commonly multilocular, crosses midline
