Abstract Background Odontogenic tumors are relatively common oro‐facial tumors seen in our environment with challenges encountered with management in terms of inadequate infrastructure and high cost of treatment. They are often associated with bone resorption with concomitant collagen degradation and excretion of their by‐products in serum or urine ...

Abstract Background Cyclooxygenase‐2 protein is a critically important mediator in inflammation that influences proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastasis. Previous works showed a relationship between cyclooxygenase‐2 and tumourigenesis in humans and animal models. In epithelial odontogenic tumours and cysts, increased cell proliferation and

Microdeletion of 9q22.3: A patient with minimal deletion size associated with a severe phenotype
Abstract Basal cell nevus syndrome (also known as Gorlin Syndrome; MIM109400) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent pathological features such as basal cell carcinomas and odontogenic keratocysts as well as skeletal abnormalities.

A Large Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor [PDF]
ABSTRACT Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is described as a benign uni- or multicystic, intraosseous tumor arising from the dental lamina or its remnants. Various treatment modalities available are decompression, marsupialization, enucleation, curettage, resection with and without continuity defect, and disarticulation.

Diagnostic dilemma: Radicular cyst or keratocystic odontogenic tumor?
Keratocystic odontogenic tumor was previously considered as a common cyst of developmental origin but now it is considered as a tumor of the oral cavity with high recurrence rate and it has an ability to mimic other jaw cysts.

Smoothened gene alterations in keratocystic odontogenic tumors [PDF]
It has been widely demonstrated that the hedgehog pathway is strongly associated with basal cell carcinoma of the skin (NBCCS). To assess potential DNA alterations related to keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs), we sequenced smoothened (SMO) genes in 12 sporadic KCOTs.Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), capillary electrophoresis and dideoxy chain ...
