Multiple Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Cysts: A Report of Two Cases and Review of the Literature

“…Similar to the cases reported here, the patients were of a relatively young age, with three of the four reports involving an individual in their third decade. The majority of cases were in the mandible, with only one case reporting bilateral lesions in both the maxilla and mandible [14]. There is a male predominance and the majority of cases were associated with unerupted teeth, which is in agreement with our findings and previous studies [7].…”

“…There is a male predominance and the majority of cases were associated with unerupted teeth, which is in agreement with our findings and previous studies [7]. All the cases were treated conservatively and two reported no recurrences [14,17].…”

“…At the present time however, there is no convincing evidence to link multiple OOCs to NBCCS or Gardner Syndrome. Table 1 summarises four previous reports of bilateral or multiple OOCs reported in the literature [14,[16][17][18]. Similar to the cases reported here, the patients were of a relatively young age, with three of the four reports involving an individual in their third decade.…”

“…Unlike OKCs, there is no evidence that multiple OOCs are associated with NBCCS [1,14]. There is one case report of a combined OOC and OKC in a patient with Gardner Syndrome [15] and one of the extraintestinal manifestations of Gardner Syndrome is epidermoid cysts [15], which histologically can appear similar to OOCs.…”

Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst associated with multinucleated giant cell reaction: report of unusual findings

“…These cysts generally present as single asymptomatic lesions 10 , in the posterior mandibular region 2,7-8 . Nevertheless, some reports have shown painful symptomatology associated with secondary infection [7][8] , and extension between 1 and 3 centimeters.…”
