Primordial Cyst
Probably were all OKCs
Odontogenic Keratocyst characteristics, Recurrence, Histology, Treatment, factors
aka Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor
- Distinct histological pattern and aggressive biologic behavior
- Growth due to osmotic effects and unusual gene expressions
- Solitary OKCs have 10% recurrence rate. Multiple have 30% recurrence rate. Syndrome OKC has highest recurrence

Histology
- Basal cells are uniform, palisaded, and hyperchromatic
- Surface epithelium is parakeratinized
- 1/4th have satellite or daughter cysts in the connective tissue wall which increases recurrence

Treatment
- Marsupialization to shrink the cyst and carnoy solution to cauterize the area

- PTCH gene mutation
- Overexpress Ki-87 for cell proliferation
- Overexpress BCL-2 for antiapoptotic
- Overexpression of MMP 2 and 9 to allow tissue growth
Nevoid Basal Cell carcinoma Syndrome
aka Gorlin's syndrome
- Multiple odontogenic keratocysts
- Multiple basal cell carcinomas of skin
- Calcification of falx cerebri
- Rib anomalies
- Palmar/plantar pitting
- Medulloblastoma
Orthokeratinized Odontogenic cyst
Odontogenic cyst with orthokeratinized epithelium
- No increased risk for recurrence like in OKC
- May be associated with an impacted tooth
Calcifying odontogenic cyst characteristics, histology, treatment
20% extraosseous and associated with unerupted teeth.

Histology
- Fibrous connective tissue lined by palisading Ameloblastic-like epithelium
- Contains ghost cells which are altered epithelial cells that have lost their nuclei

Treatment
- Enucleation with peripheral ostectomy
- Long term followup because some tumors are more aggressive
- Ghost cells may calcify and show radiopacities
Nasolabial cyst characteristics, histology,
aka Nasoalveolar cyst
- Rare soft tissue cyst of upper lip not in bone
- Comes from epithelial remnants from nasolacrimal duct or after fusion of processes

Histology
- Show pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Respiratory epithelium
Globullomaxillary Cyst
A term used to describe an anatomic location and is not a diagnosis
- Presents as an inverted pear shaped in between the maxillary lateral and canines
Most common non-odontogenic cyst of oral cavity source, radiograph, histology
