Abstract
|
Introduction:
Odontogenic keratocysts as defined by WHO are known for their characteristic behavior, high tendency to recur, unusual pattern of growth and different treatment methods. Squamous cell carcinoma on top of keratocysts is extremely rare and is mostly limited to jaw bones.
Case Report: We hereby report, not previously reported a characteristic case of an odontogenic keratocyst related to the anterior maxillary teeth in a teenage female of 13 years. On histological examination of the biopsy, frank invasion was seen and a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma on top of keratocyst was given. Conclusion: The diagnosis was predicted on recognition of the histopathologic features of odontogenic keratocyst associated with dysplastic features of the epithelial lining and areas of invasion in other parts; the clinical symptoms are modest, only presenting a palatal swelling. | |
