Jaw cysts with special regard to keratocyst recurrence. A long-term follow-up. 1981

M Anniko, and G Anneroth, and H Bergstedt, and G Ramström

From an original material of 50 patients with 55 jaw cysts, 39 patients were followed up 32--129 months after surgery (mean: 92 months). In 21 of 55 cysts the primary lesion was histologically classified as a keratocyst. All keratocysts had a follow-up period of at least 6 years (72 months). The keratocyst recurrence rate was 50%. Seven of eight recurrences in the total material were keratocysts. There was no difference between males and females concerning the incidence of keratocysts or age at diagnosis.

D007570	Jaw Cysts	Saccular lesions lined with epithelium and contained within pathologically formed cavities in the jaw; also nonepithelial cysts (pseudocysts) as they apply to the jaw, e.g., traumatic or solitary cyst, static bone cavity, and aneurysmal bone cyst.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009807	Odontogenic Cysts	Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation.	Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst
