Odontogenic keratocysts: a study of 50 patients.

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a locally aggressive neoplasm with rates of recurrence reported as high as 60%. Correlation between histopathology and the likelihood of recurrence remains a subject of controversy. In this review of the authors' experience in treating 50 patients with OKC between 1977 and 1993, 58 specimens were studied to correlate the likelihood of recurrence with the presence of the following histologic features--parakeratosis, orthokeratosis, satellite cysts, epithelial rests, or epithelial proliferation. Orthokeratinized cysts were associated with a higher recurrence rate than in previously reported studies. Disruption of the epithelial lining in the resected specimen was found to be a primary determinant of recurrence.

Multinodular versus plexiform neurilemoma of the hard palate. Report of a case.

Neurilemoma (schwannoma) is the most commonly encountered nerve sheath tumor of the oral cavity. It generally appears as a single encapsulated nodule that occasionally causes pain or discomfort. The tongue is involved most frequently, followed by the palate, floor of mouth, and buccal mucosa. Neurilemomas occur most often during the second or third decades of life. Our patient is a 21-year-old woman with a recurrence of a palatal mass that was excised 3 years earlier. Histologically the lesion appeared to be a multinodular neurilemoma, a pattern rarely reported in the oral cavity.

Metastatic carcinoma to the mandible. Report of two cases.

Two cases of rare metastases from malignant neoplasms to the posterior mandible in young adults are reported. Multiple imaging modalities were necessary to identify the many metastases and, in one case, the suspected primary site. Many of the radiographic images are presented for that case.
