“…Odontogenic cysts belong to a heterogeneous group of lesions that constitute innocuous inflammatory cysts to develop cysts, sometimes behave in a locally aggressive manner, and may show variegated histologic morphologies. 10 The OKCs are aggressive cystic jaw lesions with an increased propensity for recurrence and have a high growth potential. 1 Marsupialization is a treatment of choice used by surgeons to reduce the volume of OKCs before enucleation and minimize vascular and neurological complications, unesthetic outcomes, and morbidity.…”

The odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are aggressive cystic jaw lesions with a high epithelial turnover rate and increased propensity for recurrence. Sometimes, the characteristic histopathological features of OKCs are either completely lost or seen focally due to previous marsupialization or inflammation. This research aimed to determine whether specific patterns of CK14 and Bcl-2 staining could assist in diagnosing OKCs with altered epithelial features and provide clues in elucidating their aggressive nature. CK14 expression was restricted to basal and suprabasal layers near satellite cysts and in areas showing subepithelial split. The entire epithelial lining showed CK14 expression in areas of inflammation and after marsupialization. The typical basal/suprabasal staining of Bcl-2 was lost in areas of inflammation and intensity is decreased in OKCs after marsupialization. These new findings could offer a hint into the biological nature and pathogenesis of OKCs. Because of its therapeutic consequences and high recurrence rate, proper recognition and diagnosis are essential for treatment planning.

Squamous odontogenic tumour-like proliferations (SOTLPs) in the wall of odontogenic cysts are rare occurrences. Due to the histopathological similarity of these proliferations to neoplasms, such as squamous odontogenic tumour, intraosseous well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, and acanthomatous ameloblastoma, their correct elucidation is of paramount importance to avoid unnecessary and unwanted treatment. SOTLPs are uncommon in dentigerous cysts and rare in those that occur in the maxilla particularly the anterior region. This paper presents a case of maxillary dentigerous cyst involving 33 and a mesiodens in a 32 year old male which on histopathological examination showed SOTLPs in a dentigerous cyst.
