“…Final theory explains the reason of IECs by metaplasia of the epithelium of dentigerous cysts. Sebaceous differentiation of cyst wall by induction of mesodermal organizer causes the epidermoid cysts [14]. This theory also supports the absence of skin appendages in our case.…”

“…The researchers suggests the diagnostic work up for IEC including ultrasonography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the adjacent anatomical structures, determine the exact location of lesion and decide the appropriate surgical approach [14]. In our case, we used only orthopantomographs and did not consider the IEC in differential diagnosis.…”

A 24-year-old patient was referred to our clinic for treatment of impacted wisdom teeth. The patient had odontogenic pain on upper and lower right jaw. Clinical examination showed that upper and lower right first molars have deep caries and pulpitis pain. The wisdom teeth were not seen in mouth clinically. The patient anamnesis gives no wisdom teeth extraction story in past. The orthopantomograph was taken to see the positions and situations of all wisdom teeth. Bilaterally impacted teeth surrounded by large radiolucency were detected by orthopantomograph [Table/ Fig-1]. aBstRaCtEpidermoid and dermoid cysts of the jaws are seen rarely. The formation theories of the intraosseous epidermoid cyst (IEC) are not clear. The radiographic appearance is similar with unilocular cysts. Surgical enucleation is the suggested treatment method for epidermoid cysts. This case report presents bilateral mandibular intraosseous epidermoid cysts with impacted wisdom teeth which is the first documented case in the literature.

“…4 Fordyce's granules (ectopic sebaceous glands in oral mucosa), present in 80% of the population, may also be the origin, by migration of oral epithelium into bone through a fistula or following marsupialization procedure. 1,12 Finally, undifferentiated odontogenic epithelium in dentigerous cysts was suggested to undergo sebaceous differentiation by induction of the mesodermal organizer factors. 1 However, this mechanism fails to explain the presence of sweat glands and hair follicles separate from the lining epithelium.…”

“…Teratomas (or complex type) include other tissue types of both mesodermal and endodermal origin, such as cartilage, muscle, or nerve. 1 The most common sites of dermoid cysts are in the soft tissues of the head and neck. In the oral cavity DC usually presents as a solitary, painless, midline mass in the floor of the mouth or the submandibular region.…”

Dermoid cysts within the maxillofacial skeleton are extremely rare, with only 13 cases in the literature. The present report describes a new long-standing intraosseous DC and reviews the literature.A 69-year-old female presented with an expansile mandibular lesion, presenting a large radiolucency with the second and third molars impacted and displaced to the inferior mandibular border. Microscopic examination showed an intraosseous DC, lined by stratified keratinizing epithelium, with multiple aggregates of sebaceous cells and well formed sebaceous glands. Impaction of both second and third molars is an indication of initial development before the physiologic eruption time at approximately age 12. Thus, this presents an extremely longstanding intraosseous DC of at least 45 years duration. Analysis of the literature indicates that in comparison with the more common odontogenic keratocyst, intraosseous DC seems to have a very slow growth rate, and an indolent behavior.

Cartilaginous metaplasia is a rare but well-documented phenomenon occurring in the wall of odontogenic keratocyst. The mural cartilage not associated with odontogenic keratocyst has been reported only once in a maxillary teratoid cyst of congenital origin to our knowledge. A case presented is a 38-year-old man with intraosseous keratinizing epidermoid cyst in the mandible, the wall of which contained a nodule of mature hyaline cartilage. The present lesion likely represents a previously undescribed, histologic hybrid consisting of orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst and cartilaginous heterotopia.
