Non-syndromic odontogenic keratocysts: A rare case report

Abstract: Odontogenic keratocysts are very well documented in the literature. Multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are one of the most frequent features of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). It is linked with mutation in the PTCH gene (human homolog of the drosophila segment polarity gene, “patched”,). Partial expression of the gene may result in occurrence of only multiple recurring OKC without any associated systemic findings. A rare case of multiple odontogenic keratocysts unassociated with any syndrome… Show more

“…Histologically most cases of OKCs (61%) were lined by parakeratinised epithelium which is similar to the findings of most of the studies conducted in different countries. 13,14 Epithelial hyperplasia was observed in 38.5% OKCs in the present study which is consistent with a study conducted on the Brazilian population. 15 Spongiosis was observed in 46% OKCs in the present study but no data is available in the literature regarding spongiosis in OKCs.…”

“…The review of case reports of this condition showed that the non-syndromic type often affects the individual at early decades of life, mainly the second decade, with the mandible and maxilla being the most common sites of involvement, as in line with the present findings. Kurdekar [10] and Bartake [11] found the maxilla to be the target area of non-syndromic keratocysts, which is inconsistent with this case report. Swelling, pain, drainage and discharge of pus and delays in tooth eruption have been reported as the causes of presenting with non-syndromic multiple keratocysts.…”

“…Swelling, pain, drainage and discharge of pus and delays in tooth eruption have been reported as the causes of presenting with non-syndromic multiple keratocysts. The present case report is consistent with the results obtained by Bartake [11] , Kurdekar [10] and Auluk et al [3] in terms of the symptoms of involvement, but inconsistent with the results obtained by Parikh [12] .…”

“…2 A partial expression of the PTCH gene may result in the occurrence of only multiple recurring OKCs, without any associated systemic findings. 3 The term 'multiple' refers to the lifetime history of the patient and not to many cysts present at any one time. Any patient with more than 1 OKC other than a recurrence is generally said to show some other features of the syndrome, albeit only minor anomalies, which may be revealed only during full examination.…”
