In 1942, Stafne described 35 "bone cavities" at the angle of the mandible. They appeared as unilocular, well-circumscribed, round or elliptical radiolucencies located below the inferior dental canal and between the angle of the mandible and first molar tooth. Since 1942, these lesions have been frequently described under various terms: aberrant or ectopic salivary gland; static or latent or idiopathic defect, cavity or cyst; mandibular salivary gland inclusion; lingual mandibular cavity; and Stafne's cyst, defect or cavity. Usually they were asymptomatic, with a predilection for men between age 50 and 70 years, and almost unilateral. At surgical exploration, they appeared as concavities on the lingual cortex and contained salivary gland tissue, often in continuity with the submandibular gland. In 1957, Richard and Ziskind were the first to report the appearance of a Stafne's cyst in the premolar region. Contrary to posterior defects, the anterior defects are difficult to diagnose clinically because the mandibular canal is not present, and the unilocular radiolucency can be confused with other cysts (radicular, residual, odontogenic, lateral periodontal,etc). The purpose of the present report is to describe an unusual case of Stafne's cyst in the anterior region of the mandible in 58-years-old woman.

Objective : In selected cases, the transsphenoidal approach[TSA] can be extended anteriorly to the tuberculum sellae, chiasmatic sulcus, and planum sphenoidale to obtain direct exposure of the suprasellar cisterns and its contents. We applied this modification of the TSA to various lesions of the presellar and suprasellar areas. We evaluate our clinical experience of this technique and review the related literature. Methods : From 1999 to 2004, we used the transsphenoidal supradiaphragmatic intradural approachs[TSIAs] in 9 patients who had various lesions at the pre- and suprasellar regions. Concomitant presellar extension of the bone window was performed with the sublabial or transnasal transseptal transphenoidal techniques. After removal of the lesions, sellar or anterior cranial floor was repaired with silicone plate substitute. Results : The TSIAs have been applied in the following cases : four tuberculum sellae meningiomas, two craniopharyngiomas, two Rathke's cleft cysts, and one non-functioning macroadenoma. The complications were one case of visual acuity decrease and one cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. Conclusion : The TSIA is easily applicable through a minor modification of the standard TSA. It is suitable for removing lesions located in the presellar and suprasellar area adjacent to the pituitary stalk with minimal brain manipulation and decreased morbidity.

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC) are the most common type of congenital developmental anomaly encountered in the anterior midline of the neck in childhood. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of TGDC and identify any factors that could be related to recurrence after surgery. This study consisted of a retrospective chart review of 45 patients treated at Kyungpook National University Hospital for TGDC between 1990 and 2008. All records were reviewed for age and sex, length of history, presentation, diagnostic methods, sizes and locations of cyst, surgical management, histopathology of the lesion and recurrences. The statistical analysis of risk factors for recurrence was made using the Fisher's exact test with a significance level of p (0.05. The male to female ratio was 2.2:1 with a male preponderance. The mean age at operation was 5 years and 2 months (4 months - 17 years). The most common presenting symptom was a nontender cervical mass (78 %). Most TGDC were found in the midline position. Twenty four were infrahyold, 17 were hyoid, and 4 were suprahyoid level. Forty one (91 %) patients received the Sistrunk operation, and 4(9 %) patients received Cyst excision. Postoperative a seroma developed in six patients in the early postoperative days. There were a total of 3(6.6 %) recurrences, 2 in patients who had excision only and in one patient who had the Sistrunk operation. Univariate analysis for risk factors with recurrence showed that there was no statistical relationship between the presence of preoperative infection and the development of recurrence. The removal of hyoid bone along with TGDC was a statistically significant risk factor for recurrent disease. This study suggests that the Sistrunk operation Is the treatment of choice for TGDC in order to reduce recurrence.

구강내 대부분의 감염은 치성 기원으로 치성 감염은 초기 감염부위로부터 저항이 제일 적은 경로를 따라 확산된다. 상악에서 치근단과 피질골 사이의 두께가 구개측보다 협측에서 더 얇기 때문에 감염이 구개측 보다는 협측으로 더 쉽게 확산되며, 구개 치근보다 협측 치근이 좁아서 근관치료의 실패가 협측 치근에서 많이 발생한다. 따라서 구개 농양의 발생은 협측 농양에 비해 흔치 않다. 구개 농양은 구개부에 발생하는 비치성 기원의 양성 또는 악성 타액선 신생물, 양성 신경 종양, 낭종 등과 감별진단이 어렵다. 따라서 소아에서 구개종창이 관찰될 경우 치성 기원의 구개 농양을 조기에 진단해 감염이 전신적으로 확산되는 것을 방지 해야 한다. 본 증례에서는 유치의 통증과 구개부 종창을 주소로 내원한 환아에서 치성 기원의 구개 농양이라고 진단하여 해당치아를 발치하고 항생제를 처방하였다. 치료 후 구개 종창이 해소되어 보고하는 바이다.

The calcifying odontogenic cyst was identified as a pathological entity by Gorlin & his associates in 1962. This lesion is one of the rarest and most disputable cysts in the oral region. The calcifying odontogenic cyst has variable clinical and radiological features. We review the previous literatures and report 2 cases of calcifying odontogenic cyst at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kyung-Hee University. The 1st case was as follows. The patient vas 22 year old female. The past dental history revealed extraction of prolonged retained #73 tooth about 15days ago. She complained a painful swelling on the lower anterior teeth area. There were chin and vestibular swelling on the lower anterior teeth area, tenderness and missing of #33 tooth. The radiograph revealed well-demarcated unilocular radiolucency containing radiopaque calcific flecks around impacted #33 tooth. The clinical diagnosis was COC, so surgical enucleation was done. There was no recurrence and COC was confirmed by pathologist. The second case was as follows. The patient was 72 year old male. The past history revealed inactive tuberculosis, bronchial asthma and denture construction. The chief complaint was rapidly growing mass on the lower left anterior edentulous area. The clinical findings were chin swelling protruding mass with surface ulceration, fluctuation and a few bloody fluid in aspiration. The radiograph revealed well-demarcated radiolucency mimiking the residual cyst. The biopsy result was COC. The surgical excision was done, but the lesion was recurred 10 months later. The treatment was surgical excision with aggressive peripheral bone grinding and FTSG form groin area. There was no problem during the postoperative period.

The odontogenic keratocyst(OKC) is a common developmental odontogenic cyst and represents approximately 11% of odontogenic cysts. It is decided by microscopic and histopathologic determinant rather than by clinical appearance. In this study, expression of RANKL and OPG in OKC in relation to age and gender of patient and recurrence, location of lesion were examined through immuno- histochemical study. The RANKL and OPG antibody staining were used. The obtained result were as follow. 1. Positive immunoreactivity to RANKL/OPG in all specimens was found. 2. There was no significant difference in immunohistochemical expression of RANKL relating to recurrence, location of OKCs and age, gender of patients. 3. There was no significant difference in immunohistochemical expression of OPG relating to recurrence, location of OKCs and age, gender of patients. From above results, it is suggested that activation of osteoclasts by RANKL is an important mechanism by which OKCs cause bone destruction.

Basal cell nevus syndrome is a hereditary disease of an autosomal dominant trait with variable conditions such as basal cell carcinomas of the skin, deformity of rib, fusion of vertebrae, mental retardation, hypertelorism, and multiple odontogenic keratocysts. A 32 years old man with pus discharge from fistula on the vestibule of left upper 1st molar visited to Chosun University Dental Hospital. Radiographic evaluation revealed multiple maxillary and mandibular cysts that had multilocular radiolucency on left mandibular body area, thining of inferior border of left border of ramus and well defined unilocular radiolucency above right upper 1st and 2nd molar and from left upper 1st premolar to 2nd molar. In chest PA view, he had a forked rib in the left 4th rib and in skull PA view the calcification of falx cerebri was observed. There was not any skin lesion. After the preliminary evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with basal cell nevus syndrome and he underwent marsupialization for decreasing the size of cystic lesion and came to hospital for dressing 3days a week. As time goes by, the size of lesion decreased. So, one and half year after marsupialization, he underwent cyst enucleation and iliac bone graft for the mandibular lesion and buccal fat pad grafts for the maxillary lesions. After the surgery, the patient experienced normal healing without any complications and he is on long-term follow-up.

Purpose: Autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) is indicated for patients with a large osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT), accompanying subchondral cyst, and the failure of bone marrow stimulation (BMS) procedures. Despite the many reports on the clinical results of surgical treatment for medial osteochondral lesions, those of lateral lesions are rare. This paper reports the intermediate-term clinical outcomes after AOT for lateral OLTs. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients with lateral OLTs were followed up for at least three years after AOT. The clinical evaluations comprised the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). The radiographic assessment included the irregularity of the articular surface (subchondral plate), the progression of degenerative arthritis, and the changes in talar tilt angle and anterior talar translation. Results: The mean FAOS and FAAM scores improved significantly from 42.1 to 89.5 and 39.5 to 90.6 points, respectively, at the final follow-up (p<0.001). The radiological evaluation revealed two cases (9.5%) of articular step-off ≥2 mm and 1 case (4.8%) of progressive arthritis. The mean talar tilt angle and anterior talar translation improved significantly. As postoperative complications, there was one case of a local wound problem, one case of superficial peroneal nerve injury, and one case of donor site morbidity. At a mean follow-up of 62.3 months, no patient showed a recurrence of instability or required reoperation for OLT. Conclusion: AOT for the lateral OLTs demonstrated satisfactory intermediate-term clinical outcomes, including daily and sports activity abilities. Most OLT could be accessed through lateral ligament division and capsulotomy, and the incidence of iatrogenic complications, such as recurrent sprains or chronic instability, was minimal. AOT appears to be an effective and relatively safe treatment for patients with large lateral osteochondral lesions unresponsive to conservative therapy, with subchondral cysts, or with failed primary BMS.
