Oral and maxillofacial cyst is defined as an pathogenic cavity with an lining epithelium and connective tissue wall. Cysts of the jaws and periapical regions vary in histogenesis, treatment and prognosis. Cysts with similar clinical and radiographic can be shown different histopathologic features. Cysts are classified into odontogenic cysts and nonodontogenic cysts. Cysts are also divied into true cysts and pseudocyst. True cysts are lined with an epithelium, however pseudocysts are not lined with epithelium. A periapical cyst, dentigerous cyst and odontogenic keratocyst is clinically common and important lesions at dental clinic.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical and histological features of odontogenic keratocyst Patients and Methods: A retrosective review of 100 patients who were diagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst by hitological findings during the period of January 2000 and December 2005 in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery Pusan National University was consecuted. For each patient, age, sex, location of lesion, initial diagnosis by radiographic features, treatment procedure, hitologic findings and recurrance rate were evaluated. Results: In this study, OKC has male prevalance to female by 1.38:1, and most likely occurs during third decade. The most common site of lesion was mandibular ramus region(34.6%) and the most common symptom was swelling(50%). The most common initial diagnosis by radiographic findings was OKC and cyst enucleation was the most common treatment method. The recurrance rate was 28% and existence of daugther cyst is thought to be most convincing factor for prediction of recurrence. Conclusion: In this study, total recurrence rate was 28% and existence of daugther cyst is thought to be most convincing factor for prediction of recurrence. But, since 97% of patients were treated by enucleation and adjuntive excision, further styudy is need about concordance of recurrence rate with surgical method.

Six observers with different amount of experience in the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology interpreted the radiographs of 13 cases of ameloblastoma and 8 cases of odontogenic keratocyct which were confirmed histopathologically and showed pseudo-multilocular appearance and scalloped border radiographically. The authors examined the accuracy of radiologic diagnoses, interobserver agrement and intraobserver agreement. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The accuracy of radiologic diagnosis ranged from 0.48 to 0.81. The average value was 0.61. 2. The accuracy of radiologic diagnosis for ameloblastoma(0.55) was lower than that for odontogenic keratocyst(0.70) (P<0.05). 3. The overall agreement among the 6 observers was 14.3％ at the first interpretation and 19.0％ at the second interpretation. 4. The intraobserver agreement of each observer expressed in kappa index ranged from -0.14 to 0.64. The overall intraobserver agreement was 0.29. 5. The intraobserver agreement of each observer for ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocyst ranged from -0.07 to 0.65 and from -0.25 to 1.00, respectively. The overall intraobserver agreement for ameloblatoma and odontogenic keratocyst were 0.27 and 0.26, respectively. 6. The diagnostic accuracy highly correlated to the intraobserver agreement(r=0.6370).

The author has clinically and radiologically investigated 57 cases of odontogenic keratocyst in 47 patients consisted of 26 males and 21 females aged from.2 to 63 years, who were pathologically diagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst at infirmaries of dental colleges, Yonsei University and Seoul national university during 1965-1986. The results were as follows: 1. The peak incidence of the disease was on their teenagers (29.8%). The ratio of Male/Female was 1.23:1 and incidence rate of males showed higher than their counterpart. 2. The most frequent complaints were swelling in (65.9%) followed by pus discharge, unknown mass, pain, residual root. 3. The most common site was mandibular third molar and mandibular ramus region (15.8%) followed by mandibular body and ramus, mandibular third molar, mandibular anterior teeth. Incidence of this disease in mandible was higher than in maxilla. 4. The lesions not associated with adjacent teeth were (14.0%) and in the lesions associated with adjacent teeth (35.1%) showed root resorption, (50.9%) were without root resorption, (35.1%) showed tooth migration and (50.9%) were without tooth migration. 5. The border types of the lesions were scalloped type in (52.6%), smooth type in (47.4%) and morphological type were unilocular in (50.9%), multilocular in (49.1%). 6. The radiologic cyst type of the lesions were follicular type (42.1%) followed by primordial, unclassified odontogenic, residual, lateral periodontal, median mandibular, globulomaxillary type.

Objectives: This study was aimed to analyze the reducing pattern of decompression on mandibular odontogenic keratocyst and to determine the proper time for secondary enucleation. Materials and methods: Seventeen patients with OKC of the mandible were treated by decompression. Forty-five series of CT data were taken during decompression and measured by using InVivo software (Anatomage, San Jose, Calif) and were analyzed. Results: The expected relative volume during decompression is calculated using the following formula: V(t) = V_initial × exp.(at + 1/2bt²) (t = duration after decompression (day)). There was no significant directional indicator in the rate of reduction between buccolingual and mesiodistal widths. Conclusion: The volume reduction rate gradually decreased, and 270 days were required for 50% volume reduction following decompression of OKC. The surgeon should be aware of this pattern to determine the timing for definitive enucleation. Clinical relevance: The volume reduction rate and pattern of decompression of the OKC can be predicted and clinicians should be considered when treating OKC via decompression.

The purpose of this study is to find the histopathological pattern of cysts. We reviewed the hospital chart, out-patient chart, roentgenogram, histopathologic report and operation report of 152 patients who had been diagnosed as cyst and treated at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Korea university hospital between Jan. 1, 1995 and Dec. 31, 1998. And then we studied clinically with regard to pathological classification, age and sex distribution, anatomical distribution and so on. The results were as follows : 1. In pathologic classification, radicular cyst (97cases, 64%), dentigerous cyst (35cases, 23%), odontogenic keratocyst (8cases, 5.3%) were dominant among cases of cyst. 2. The pattern of age distribution in cases of radicular cyst, dentigerous cyst and odontogenic keratocyst was similar to that found in previous studies. The peak incidence was in the second decade (27%) and third decade (29%) in overall cases. 3. The male-to-female ratio was 1.9 : 1. 4. Radicular cyst occured most frequently in the maxillary incisor teeth area, dentigerous cyst in mandibular wisdom teeth area, and odontogenic keratocyst in mandibular molar area.

We investigated 52 cases of 42 patients who were diagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst in the department of Oral and maxillofacial Surgery of Kyungpook National University from 2006 to 2008, and following results were obtained. 1. Among 52 cases of OKCs, all cases were parakeratinzied. 2. Among 52 cases of OKCs, 42 cases were type I, 9 cases were type II and 1 case was type V. 3. Among 52 cases of OKCs, there were bud-like proliferation of basal cell layer on connective tissue area on 10 cases, satellite cysts on overlying oral mucosa or connective tissue area on 6 cases and rests of epithelium on connective tissue area on 6 cases. 4. Among 52 cases of OKCs, there were focal inflammation on the epithelium of the OKCs on 6 cases and diffuse inflammation on 8 cases. 5. Among 52 cases of OKCs, cytokeratin-10 was expressioned on superficial and intermediate layer on all cases. Accordingly, the presence or absence of cytokeration-10 on the epithelium of the cyst will be good differential diagnosis of between OKC and dentigerous cyst.

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst typically occurring in the jaws. Since the first description of OKC was published in 1956, the lesion has been of particular interest because of its specific histopathologic features, high recurrence rate, and aggressive behavior. Recurrences most commonly arise within bone at the site of the original cyst. However, as lining cells may find their way into surrounding tissues either from implantation during surgery or from cortical perforation recurrences may arise at a distance from the original cyst. Here, we report a rare case of recurrent OKC which was first developed in mandible and recurred within the masticatory space.

A clinical study of selected patients with cyst which were managed in the Department of oral and maxillofacial sugery from March 1994 to February 1998 was done. An following results were obtained 1. Male were involved more than females by cyst in a ratio of 1.95:1 and most of the cases occurred in the secondary decades 2. The primary site of radicular cysts were the anterior incisor area, dentigerous cysts were anterior incisor area and canine area, incisive canal cysts were maxillary anterior area, odontogenic keratocyst were the mandibular ramus area. 3. The common symptoms were swelling(65 cases), pain(12 cases) and the mean duration of syptomatic period was 10 days. 4. The rates of histopathologic classification were radicular cyst(58%), dentigerous cyst(22%), incisive canal cyst(9%), odontogenic keratocyst(11%). 5. Average of Alk. phosphatase was 235(IU/L) at pre-twenty age and 102(IU/L) at post-twenty age. 6. In treatment modalities, enucleation was most common, odontogenic keratocyst was treated by enucleation and curettage for prevention of recurrence.

Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor of vascular or lymphatic origin and represents less than 1% of all malignant tumors. Radiation therapy is a standard treatment in many head and neck cancer cases, but ionizing radiation is associated with radiation carcinogenesis including radiation-induced angiosarcoma. In this article, we report a rare case of radiation-induced angiosarcoma found in a 58-year-old female patient who was previously diagnosed with an odontogenic keratocyst and mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
