A. Cyst from mandibular area #32
Clinical history from a pathology requisition
1) What is the oral surgeon actually asking? 2) What do they really want to know?
![Page 8: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
I’ve already enucleated this cyst that I have sent to the laboratory. Is there anything else I need to do or worry about?
What the oral surgeon really means:
A. Cyst from mandibular area #32
![Page 9: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Impacted molar with a cyst
Let’s consider this patient from the oral surgeon’s perspective
A. Cyst from mandibular area #32

Radiographic differential: Keratocystic odontogenic
tumor Dentigerous cyst
Unicystic Ameloblastoma Ameloblastoma with cystic
change
All of these radiographic diagnoses are correct. Histology is the key.

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor
Dentigerous cyst Unicystic Ameloblastoma Ameloblastoma with cystic
change
Can all of these lesions be treated with simple enucleation? No! All require different therapies.

Cyst associated with an impacted molar
What if this was a keratocystic odontogenic tumor? What’s the worst that could happen if nothing is done or simple enucleation performed?

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor
This radiograph represents what the oral surgeon worries is going to happen if they let a keratocystic odontogenic tumor‘get away’.

Formerly named parakeratinizing odontogenic keratocyst, now classified as a neoplasm.
Genetic mutations and deletions in PTCH gene (9q22.3)
Recurrences of 30-60% with simple enucleation alone

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor When a patient has more than one
keratocystic odontogenic tumor, this very likely represents
Basal Cell Nevus syndrome (Basal Cell Carcinoma Nevus Syndrome, commonly known as Gorlin or Gorlin-Goltz
Syndrome) Often presents in the first and second decade
of life
![Page 19: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Treatment: Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor
Requires additional surgical procedure with complete curettage and chemical cautery of the area of the cyst with Carnoy’s solution and in some cases, removal of some bone (perpheral ostectomy). Long term (10 yr) followup with radiograph every year for 5 years and then every other year thereafter.
![Page 20: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology .

Dentigerous cyst This is also a squamous lined cyst on histology. But, we are looking for what is NOT present: no parakeratosis no palisaded basal layer no surface corrugation
We need to make sure this is not a keratocystic odontogenic tumor.
![Page 21: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
We have just seen this radiograph of a keratocystic odontogenic tumor. From this radiograph, could this be a dentigerous cyst? Yes! Histology is key.
![Page 22: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Treatment: Dentigerous cyst
Enucleation of the cyst with the tooth. No further treatment required.

Ameloblastoma
Histologically benign epithelial odontogenic tumor that has an aggressive behavior
![Page 28: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Reverse nuclear polarity (nuclei pulled away from basement membrane)
Ameloblastoma Stellate reticulum

Most ameloblastomas are solid, but ameloblastomas usually contain variably sized cysts. In some tumors, the entire lesion is cystic.
![Page 30: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
UNICYSTIC AMELOBLASTOMA Definition: Ameloblastoma epithelium lines the cyst AND Must have no epithelium invading the cyst wall
![Page 31: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Unicystic ameloblastoma: Treatment
Complete curettage, chemical cautery Followup: Long term with radiographs
![Page 32: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
If the lesion looks like unicystic ameloblastoma but the epithelium invades the wall, the terminology is ‘cystic ameloblastoma’ The treatment is same as for solid ameloblastoma:
Surgical resection with 1 cm surgical margins beyond the radiographic border of the lesion
![Page 33: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In the cases presented so far, we have noted that the radiograph has limited value as to establishing a specific diagnosis. But that is not the case for all cystic lesions. Radicular (periapical) cysts can’t be diagnosed without the radiograph
![Page 34: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Periapical (Radicular) Cyst
![Page 35: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Arise when epithelium around root is stimulated by inflammation
Histopathologic features may be identical to
inflamed dentigerous cysts, therefore you need radiographic and/or clinical description for separation
Periapical cysts are treated with simple
enucleation with removal of the tooth
Periapical (radicular) cysts
![Page 36: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Inflammation No parakeratosis No palisaded basal layer
Periapical (radicular) cyst
![Page 37: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
An inflamed dentigerous cyst can mimic a radicular cyst exactly. The radiograph is required.
![Page 38: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Periapical (radicular) cyst
Based only the histology, could this be an inflamed dentigerous cyst? Yes. The radiograph and clinical findings would be required to separate the two.
![Page 39: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Is it clinically imperative to separate dentigerous cyst
from periapical cyst? No One would always like to be correct with matching
clinical and histologic findings but essentially the treatment has been performed and no other therapy is required.
![Page 40: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology .

Hyperplastic dental follicle
Hyperplastic dental follicle represents an enlargement of the follicle surrounding an unerupted tooth. The stroma is often edematous/myxoid
![Page 41: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Hyperplastic dental follicle
The specimen will be sent to the lab as ‘odontogenic cyst’ or ‘dental follicle’
‘Radiographic distinction between a small
dentigerous cyst and an enlarged dental follicle is difficult and may be an academic exercise’
General rule: If the cyst is > 1.0 cm, designated dentigerous cyst
![Page 42: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology .

Hyperplastic dental follicle
Odontogenic rests are common in hyperplastic dental follicle. This is not ameloblastic fibroma.
![Page 44: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Associated with unerupted tooth and: 1) no basal layer palisading 2) no corrugated surface 3) no parakeratosis Dentigerous cyst Does it have a palisaded basal layer, a corrugated surface and parakeratosis? Keratocystic odontogenic tumor Are there ameloblastomatous changes? Ameloblastoma, unicystic vs cystic with wall invasion
Mental checklist when approaching cysts in the jaw:
![Page 45: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What do you do if you have no history or radiographic information yet see what appears to be a dentigerous cyst?
The diagnostic line should be:
“Squamous lined cyst” with a comment that there are no features of
keratocystic odontogenic tumor or ameloblastoma.
![Page 46: How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions · How to Diagnose the Most Common Odontogenic Lesions Robert A. Robinson, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Pathology . Carver College](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011810/5d64678788c993f8738b778d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
In every pathology report, even where I have the history or radiograph and the diagnosis is one of these three:
-dentigerous cyst
-hyperplastic dental follicle
-radicular cyst
I still always note somewhere in the report that there are no features of keratocystic odontogenic tumor or ameloblastoma.

Fibro-osseous Lesions of the Jaws
Fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws can appear very similar histologically. Although there can be some histologic hints, true separation is most safely carried out with the addition of clinical and radiographic findings.
Fibrous dysplasia

Fibrous Dysplasia
Developmental condition characterized by replacement of normal bone by a cellular fibrous connective tissue and irregular islands and trabeculae Caused by a post-
zygotic mutation in GNAS1 gene

Fibrous dysplasia has a more uniform pattern of osseous formation than cemento-ossifying fibroma
Fibrous Dysplasia Cemento-ossifying fibroma

A mix of mineralization patterns resembling bone or cementum along with abundant fibrous tissue is much more suggestive of cemento-ossifying fibroma over fibrous dysplasia. Differentiating these lesions still usually requires clinical and radiographic correlation. No distinct cortical border is seen in dysplasias.
