An analysis of the clinical and histopathologic parameters of the odontogenic keratocyst

Classifying odontogenic keratocysts as benign cystic neoplasms: a molecular insight into its aggressiveness

“…The term 'Odontogenic Keratocyst' was introduced by Pindborg (1956) to designate any jaw cyst in which keratin was formed to a large extent [2]. Although the aggressive potential of ameloblastomas has been documented, the aggressive nature of OKC with its biologic potential needs to be researched.…”

Marsupialization of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumors of the Mandible: Longitudinal Image Analysis of Tumor Size via 3D Visualized CT Scans

“…Additionally, these tumors have been characterized by a high recurrence rate [1,2]. Because the recurrence rate of KCOTs ranges from 13.1% [2] to 62.5% [3,4,5,6], many attempts have been made to reduce the high recurrence rate with improved surgical techniques. Recommended techniques have included tanning the cystic cavity with Carnoy's solution before enucleation [7,8], or using a combination of enucleation and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy [9], whereas others recommend techniques such as marsupialization or decompression of the cysts followed by secondary enucleation [10,11,12].…”

Estudo retrospectivo de 24 tumores odontogênicos queratocísticos, com correlações clínico-imaginológicas, histopatológicas e cirúrgicas

“…O ramo da mandíbula foi a área mais afetada, com prevalência de 31% a 60%, seguido pela região posterior da maxila (BROWNE, 1971;HARING;VAN DIS, 1988;PAYNE, 1972;SLOOTWEG, 2008;STOELINGA, 2001). A incidência na maxila apontou predileção por idades avançadas (MCIVOR, 1972;NEVILLE;DAMM;BROCK, 1997 (DONATSKY et al, 1976).…”

“…Não foi vista prevalência no sexo masculino, assim como nos estudos de Payne (1972) e Stoelinga (2001.…”
