Of a total of 1,420 odontogenic cysts, 52 (3.3%) were diagnosed as odontogenic keratocysts. Clinical and histological findings in these 52 cysts are reported. Frozen sections of 26 of the keratocysts were incubated to show the following enzyme activities: NADH2- and NADPH2-diaphorase,
Using an in vitro system, the growth characteristics and enzyme histochemical properties of 3 odontogenic keratocysts and 3 dentigerous cysts were studied. It was found that the epithelial cells of the keratocysts but not of the dentigerous cysts grew in vitro. Furthermore, the epithelial-like cells
The aim of this study was to examine the level and basic characteristics of cell‑derived microparticles (MPs) in the cyst fluids of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs). For this purpose, MPs from the cyst fluids (CFMPs) of OKCs were purified by a classic differential centrifugation method and
Frozen sections of eight odontogenic cysts, including one keratocyst, were incubated to show the following enzyme activities: NADH2 diaphorase, NADPH2 diaphorase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and leucine aminopeptidase. The disbribution of lipid was shown by the oil red 0
Five cases with multiple jaw cysts from two families, and two other unrelated patients are presented. Multiple keratocysts of the jaws were found in all patinets whose cysts had been examined histologically. There were also several follicular cysts without keratinization. In some cysts there was
BACKGROUND
Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma is a rare neoplastic variant of calcifying odontogenic cyst, with aggressive growth characteristics. A painful swelling in the jaws with local paraesthesia is the most common symptom. Although it often causes irregular destruction of the adjacent bone,
Decompression has been considered a valuable tool for odontogenic cystic lesions to minimize cyst size with low morbidity and recurrence. However, whether decompression has a role in regulating stem cell properties of orofacial bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) around the cysts has not been fully
A histoenzymological study was carried out on 41 tissue specimens removed at biopsy and for surgical operations of the following lesions: benign hyperkeratosis, lichen planus, severe epithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, epidermoid carcinoma, radicular cyst, odontogenic keratocyst and
An histoenzymological study (including oxidative enzymes, diaphorases, acid and alkaline phosphatases and naphtolesterases) of 41 biopsy and operation specimens revealed interesting factors in the diagnosis of some lesions of the buccal mucosa, and also of cysts and ameloblastomas of the jaw. When
An histoenzymological study comprising oxidative enzymes, diaphorases, acid and alkaline phosphatases, naphtolesterases, referred to 60 biopsy and operation specimens. It showed interesting arguments for diagnosis and understanding of precancerous and cancerous lesions of the oral mucosa and also of
Eight living patients with the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBS) underwent a clinical and radiological examination, and data on a deceased patient was included. Cerebral CT-scannings were performed on eight patients, and calcification in the falx and tentorium cerebelli was found in all
BACKGROUND
Only 4.5% of brown tumors involve facial bones; of these, solitary bone involvement is usual. Brown tumors of multiple facial bones are extremely rare. Here, we report the case of a brown tumor of multiple facial bones initially misdiagnosed as an odontogenic cyst.

Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome that predisposes a patient to the formation of basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, and skeletal anomalies. Causative mutations in several genes associated with the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway, including PTCH1, have
RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand) promotes osteoclast differentiation, stimulates osteoclast activity, and prolongs osteoclast survival and adherence to bone. Abnormalities of the RANKL/RANK/osteoprotegerin system have been implicated in a range of diseases, including
