• odontogenic cysts
  25 March

  WKP
  Definition : Odontogenic cyst are a group of jaw cysts that are formed from tissues involved in odontogenesis (tooth development).
  Odontogenic cysts are closed sacs, and have a distinct membrane derived from rests of odontogenic epithelium. It may contain air, fluids, or semi-solid material.
  Intra-bony cysts are most common in the jaws, because the mandible and maxilla are the only bones with epithelial components.
  That odontogenic epithelium is critical in normal tooth (...)

  jaw WKP
  Definition : The jaw is any opposable articulated structure at the entrance of the mouth, typically used for grasping and manipulating food. The term jaws is also broadly applied to the whole of the structures constituting the vault of the mouth and serving to open and close it and is part of the body plan of most animals.
  In mammals, the jaws are made up of the mandible (lower jaw) and the maxilla (upper jaw).
  In the ape there is a reinforcement to the lower jaw bone (...)

  low-grade spindle cell ameloblastic carcinoma
  Definition: Ameloblastic Carcinoma (AC) is uncommon malignant epithelial odontogenic tumour of jaw, with characteristic histologic features and behavior. Clinically, it has aggressive, infiltrative growth pattern with a distinct predilection for mandible. It exhibits histologic features of ameloblastoma and gets dedifferentiated overtime to culminate in carcinoma. Majority of the cases arise denovo (primary) and only few cases arise from a (...)

• Rushton bodies
  20 February 2017

  Definition: Rushton bodies are acellular, eosinophilic, glassy structures specific to odontogenic cysts (commonly radicular, dentigerous, & odontogenic keratocysts) and seen within their epithelial lining.
  Within the cyst epithelium of radicular cyst or dentigerous cyst , hyaline bodies of various sizes and shapes may be present, the so-called Rushton bodies.

• nasolabial cyst
  10 October 2016

  nasolabial cyst Nasolabial cysts are located in the soft tissue just lateral to the nose at the lateral aspect of the maxillary alveolar process. They are thought to arise from the nasolacrimal duct. Non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with interspersed mucous cells forms the epithelial lining. These features may be lost through squamous metaplasia. Apocrine metaplasia of the cyst lining has also been (...)
