18
Q

What are the features of an odontgenic myxoma?

A

Derived from the fibroblasts of the developing tooth germ

histology shows: fibrous capsule surrounding scanty scellate type cells, odontogneic rests with boney infiltration

it has variable cortication, well defined and smooth outlined
usually found in the posterior mandible and maxilla and seen between 2nd and 4th decade, it has radiopage septa running at right angles to eachother

19
Q

What are the features of a keratocyst?

A

This is found in the posterior mandible and anterior maxilla
derived from the dental lamina

fibrous capsule
5 cells thick
parakeratinized corrugated surface
satelllitle daughter cells

derived ffrom the DL/EO
