• #1 Jaw Cysts & Tumors: Symptoms, Types & Removal

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/jaw-cysts-tumors

  Jaw cysts and tumors are growths that can form from bone (including teeth) and soft tissue in your mouth. A jaw cyst is a sac of fluid or semi-liquid material. A jaw tumor is a solid mass that forms when abnormal cells clump together. Both growths are usually benign (noncancerous). This means that, although they may grow and impact tissue in your face and mouth, they usually don’t spread to other parts of your body. […] In rare instances, jaw cysts or tumors are malignant (cancerous). Healthcare providers refer to them as jaw cancer. Without treatment, malignant jaw cysts and tumors can spread to body parts other than your jaw. […] Most jaw cysts and tumors form when the cells that eventually form teeth behave abnormally and form masses (tumors) or fluid-filled sacs instead. This is what happens with odontogenic growths. But the cells don’t have to be involved in tooth formation to grow abnormally.

  Jaw tumors and cysts originate from cells and tissues that are involved in normal tooth development. […] Other tumors that affect the jaws can be nonodontogenic, meaning that they can develop from other tissues within the jaws that are not related to the teeth, such as bone or soft tissue cells. […] Generally, the cause of jaw tumors and cysts is not known; however, some are associated with gene changes (mutations) or genetic syndromes. […] People with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, also called Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, lack a gene that suppresses tumors. […] The genetic mutation that causes the syndrome is inherited. […] This syndrome results in the development of multiple odontogenic keratocysts within the jaws, multiple basal cell skin cancers and other characteristics.

• #1 Cysts of the jaws – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysts_of_the_jaws

  Cysts of the jaws are cysts pathological epithelial-lined cavities filled with fluid or soft material occurring on the bones of the jaws, the mandible and maxilla. Those are the bones with the highest prevalence of cysts in the human body, due to the abundant amount of epithelial remnants that can be left in the bones of the jaws. […] The reasons why resting epithelium may proliferate and undergo cystic transformation are generally unknown, but inflammation is thought to be a major factor. […] The high prevalence of tooth impactions and dental infections that occur in the bones of the jaws is also significant to explain why cysts are more common at these sites. […] Most cysts are of inflammatory origin.

  Odontogenic tumors are quite uncommon lesions. It can be either derived from odontogenic ectoderm or ectomesenchyme. […] The genetic mutation affects the cell cycle, especially the G1- S checkpoint. This stimulates the formation of odontogenic cysts or tumors. Studies suggest that mutations in ameloblastin, KRAS, FHIT, and P53 genes are related to the development of odontogenic tumors. […] Understanding the etiology of odontogenic tumors went through many phases. Initially, it was thought to be related to trauma, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic irritation from dental caries. This concept changed over time as studies have shown that odontogenic tumors express proteins similar to the developing tooth-like cytokeratin and vimentin. […] At the genetic level, a different expression of certain genes has been noticed in odontogenic tumor patients, especially ameloblastoma cases. Some of them are overexpressed, and others are underexpressed compared with the normal level.

  Odd cell growth often happens because of DNA changes (genetic mutations). DNA contains the instructions, or code, that tell cells how to grow, including when to stop. Problems with the code can disrupt cell division processes and cause overgrowths. […] For example, people with Gorlin syndrome (nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome) have mutations that cause cells to continue multiplying and dividing when they shouldn’t. As a result, people with the condition often get multiple odontogenic keratocysts and are at increased risk of basal cell carcinoma, the most common skin cancer.

  The molecular pathogenesis of ameloblastoma is now considered to be related to the dysregulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Mutation in the BRAF, a protein kinase responsible for activating the MAPK signaling pathway, has been seen in around 63% of ameloblastoma cases.

• #1 Odontogenic Keratocyst Pathology: Definition, Epidemiology, Etiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1731868-overview

  Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are generally thought to be derived from remnants of the dental lamina (rests of Seres), traumatic implantation or down growth of the basal cell layer of the surface epithelium, or reduced enamel epithelium of the dental follicle. Studies have suggested a genetic cause, specifically a PTCH gene aberration, in the etiology of these cysts. […] The biologic mechanism associated with the expression of p53 protein in the epithelium of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) is not well understood, but the aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate of these lesions may be related to the expression of this protein. […] The NBCCS or PTCH gene has been mapped to chromosome 9q22.3-q31, which functions as a tumor suppressor. Studies on NBCCS and occasional solitary odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) suggest that the PTCH gene might play a role in the development of sporadic OKCs.

  Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome is a condition characterized by overactivity of the parathyroid glands (hyperparathyroidism). […] In people with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome, hyperparathyroidism is caused by tumors that form in the parathyroid glands. […] The tumors are usually a noncancerous (benign) type of tumor called an adenoma. […] Approximately 15 percent of people with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome develop a cancerous tumor called parathyroid carcinoma. […] People with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome may also have a type of benign tumor called a fibroma in the jaw. […] Other tumors, both benign and cancerous, are often seen in people with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome. […] Variants (also called mutations) in the CDC73 gene cause hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome.

  Odontogenic jaw cysts and tumors originate from cells and tissues that are involved in normal tooth development. Others tumors that affect the jaws can be nonodontogenic, meaning that they can develop from other tissues within the jaws that are not related to the teeth. Generally, the cause of jaw tumors and cysts is not known; however, some are associated with genetic syndromes. […] Around 10% of people develop abnormal masses in their jaws. These abnormal lesions are often found around impacted third molars that were never removed. Others occur spontaneously, or are caused by inflammation or genetics. While usually benign, they can invade the surrounding jaw leading to bony destruction and displacement of the teeth. […] Dental cysts are usually caused due to root infection involving tooth decay or trauma. Untreated dental caries then allow bacteria to reach the level of the pulp, causing infection. The bacteria gains access to the periapical region of the tooth through deeper infection of the pulp, traveling through the roots. The resulting pulpal necrosis causes proliferation of epithelial rests of Malassez which release toxins at the apex of the tooth leading to periapical inflammation.

  By definition, the primordial cyst develops instead of a tooth. Presumably, the dental follicle forms and subsequently undergoes cystic degeneration without ever completing odontogenesis. […] Residual cyst is a term of convenience because no teeth are left by which to identify the lesion. Most commonly, these are actually retained periapical cysts from teeth that have been removed. […] The traumatic bone cyst is a relatively frequent lesion both in the jaws and elsewhere in the skeleton. The specific etiology of the lesion is unknown, although several mechanisms have been proposed. The most widely accepted is that these lesions originate from intramedullary hemorrhage caused by trauma. […] Aneurysmal bone cysts have been observed in every part of the skeleton, although more than 50% of lesions occur in the long bones and vertebral column.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/852734-overview

  Odontogenic cysts are defined as epithelial-lined structures derived from odontogenic epithelium. Most odontogenic cysts are defined more by their location than by any histologic characteristics. […] A periapical (radicular) cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst. The usual etiology is a tooth that becomes infected, leading to necrosis of the pulp. Toxins exit the apex of the tooth, leading to periapical inflammation. This inflammation stimulates the Malassez epithelial rests, which are found in the periodontal ligament, resulting in the formation of a periapical granuloma that may be infected or sterile. […] The second most common odontogenic cyst is the dentigerous cyst, which develops within the normal dental follicle that surrounds an unerupted tooth. The dentigerous cyst is not thought to be neoplastic.

  Ossifying fibroma often occurs between the second and fourth decade of life and is more common in females, suggesting a hormonal influence on development. Still, ossifying fibromas can occur for patients of any age and sex. Trauma, irritation caused by dental restorations, and plaque underneath the gums might also all play a role in development, but the precise cause is still unknown. […] Central giant-cell granuloma (CGCG) is a localised benign fibrous tissue tumor of the jaws which contains osteoclast(bone resorbing cells). It is twice as common in females and is more likely to occur before age 30. Central giant-cell granulomas are more common in the anterior mandible where teeth have deciduous predecessors, often crossing the midline and causing painless swellings usually measures several centimetres.

  Oral cysts may be classified into different types based on their origin and composition, such as inflammatory cysts, mucous cysts, or developmental cysts. […] The exact cause of oral cysts can vary depending on the type of cyst. Some bony cysts, such as radicular cysts or dentigerous cysts, often develop as a result of infection, trauma, or developmental abnormalities affecting the jawbone. […] Mucous cysts, also known as mucoceles, typically occur due to blockage or trauma to the salivary glands. […] Developmental cysts, such as keratocystic odontogenic tumors, may arise from abnormalities during embryonic development. […] Several factors can increase the risk of developing oral cysts, including poor oral hygiene, trauma to the mouth or face, chronic irritation or inflammation of oral tissues, certain dental conditions (such as impacted teeth or gum disease), and genetic predisposition.

• #1 Jaw Cancer: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/jaw-cancer

  Jaw cancer includes various tumors that form from the tissue involved in tooth formation (odontogenic tissue). Rarely, cancerous (malignant) tumors form within your jawbone or from the tissue that’s involved in forming your teeth. This tissue is called odontogenic tissue. Unlike benign (noncancerous) jaw cysts and tumors, malignant tumors can potentially spread to parts of your body outside of your mouth. […] Sometimes, jaw cancer happens when a benign jaw cyst or tumor turns malignant. More often, though, benign growths in your jaw remain noncancerous. […] DNA changes (genetic mutations) can cause problems with how cells grow and divide. DNA contains the genetic instructions, or code, that tells cells when to stop growing. Problems with this code can cause cell malfunctions that lead to tumors. Scientists continue to research the specific DNA changes that give rise to the different tumor types associated with jaw cancer.

  https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/what-are-dentigerous-cysts

  Dentigerous cysts occur when fluid builds up over the top of a tooth that has not yet erupted. […] Generally, odontogenic tumors and cysts emanate from cells and tissues involved in normal tooth development. Most are closely linked to genetic syndromes. If you have nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, your body lacks a gene responsible for the suppression of tumors. […] As such, the syndrome puts you at a higher risk of developing multiple odontogenic cysts within the jaw. […] In worse cases, you may also be at risk of developing multiple basal cell cancers and related characteristics. […] Even with a small dentigerous cyst, having it removed can prevent future complications. Leaving it untreated can lead to: […] Ameloblastoma or jaw tumor: These are rare tumors that mainly affect the jaw near the molars or wisdom teeth. They arise from cells that form the enamel. If left untreated, the swelling becomes cancerous and may spread to the lungs or lymph nodes.

  Around 10% of people develop abnormal masses in their jaws. […] These abnormal lesions are often found around impacted third molars that were never removed. Others occur spontaneously, or are caused by inflammation or genetics. […] A cyst is an abnormal collection of fluid surrounded by a sac of tissue. Most cysts grow from cells that were originally involved in the development of your teeth. […] A tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue within the jaw bone. It may originate from cells involved in the formation of your teeth. […] Most jaw tumors are benign, but can be destructive if not properly treated. […] Cancer is an abnormal growth that spreads from the jaw bone to the neighboring tissues. […] Abnormal jaw masses are often slow growing and painless. […] Treatment will ultimately depend on what type of cyst or tumor that you have.

  Jaw cysts and tumors can be defined as abnormal growths that occur in the jawbone or soft tissues. Cysts are fluid-filled cavities and are usually harmless. However, when they grow, they can cause damage to the jawbone. Tumors are cell growths that can be benign or malignant. These structures can usually originate from tooth roots, jawbone or surrounding tissues. […] The causes of jaw cysts and tumors can vary. The most common causes include tooth root infections, jaw trauma, tooth development disorders and genetic factors. Cysts, especially at the root tip, can develop as a result of infection in the teeth. […] If jaw cysts and tumors are not diagnosed early, they can cause major damage to the jawbone and even spread to surrounding tissues. This makes treatment difficult and seriously threatens oral health. Therefore, regular dental check-ups and X-ray scans play a key role in the early detection of jaw cysts and tumors.

  Jaw cysts are sack-like pouches that fill with fluid and form within the tissues of the jaw. These growths are not just limited to the jaws, because they can form anywhere within or on the body. Jaw cysts are generally benign in nature and non-cancerous growths, but may present with malignant degeneration very rarely. […] Radicular cysts are inflammatory odontogenic cysts that arise from infection or trauma and are also known as periapical cysts. They are the commonest jaw-occurring cysts and present mainly between the third and fifth decades of life. […] Non-odontogenic cysts may arise without or with inflammatory stimuli and two examples of these are nasolabial and nasopalatine duct cysts. The former cysts arise from the vestiges of Hochstetters epithelial wall, which plays a role in the formation of our noses, whereas, the latter arise from the entrapped leftovers of the nasopalatine duct during palatal plate fusion.

  Dentigerous cysts are caused by a buildup of fluid over the top of an unerupted tooth. The exact cause of this buildup is unknown. While anyone can develop a dentigerous cyst, theyre more common in people who are in their 20s or 30s. […] There are several theories surrounding the origin of the keratocyst. Some experts believe the cyst develops in the place the tooth should have. Others argue that the tumors arise from the lamina of impacted teeth. […] The odontogenic keratocyst has a number of 'compartments’ and has connecting smaller cysts that extend into the surrounding bone. Because of this, there is frequent tendency for the condition to recur, particularly if the original surgical treatment did not result in complete removal of the cyst. […] Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign tumor of odontogenic epithelium (cells that form the enamel that protects your teeth) much more commonly appearing in the lower jaw than the upper jaw, often near your wisdom teeth or molars. Ameloblastoma is very aggressive, therefore the resulting lesions can cause severe abnormalities of the face and jaw.

  Jaw cysts and tumors can be concerning for patients experiencing swelling, discomfort, or difficulty chewing. While many cysts and tumors are benign, some can be more aggressive, potentially damaging surrounding tissues, bones, and teeth. […] Jaw cysts and tumors are abnormal growths that can form in the bones or soft tissues of the jaw. While cysts are sac-like structures filled with fluid, tumors are solid masses that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). […] Jaw cysts and tumors are often detected during routine dental exams or imaging studies like X-rays or CT scans before they cause noticeable symptoms. Regular dental visits are essential for early detection and treatment. […] While many jaw cysts and tumors are benign, they can still cause significant damage if left untreated. Cysts can grow and displace teeth or weaken the jawbone, leading to fractures or other complications. Similarly, even benign tumors can be locally aggressive, eroding surrounding tissues and causing deformities. Early intervention helps prevent these issues, ensuring the best possible outcome. […] For malignant tumors, early detection and treatment are critical for improving survival rates and preventing the spread of cancer to other areas of the body.

  Jaw tumors and cysts are relatively rare growths or lesions that develop in the jawbone or the soft tissues in the mouth and face. […] These growths are usually noncancerous (benign), but they can be aggressive and expand, displace or destroy the surrounding bone, tissue and teeth. […] Generally, the cause of jaw tumors and cysts is not known; however, some are associated with gene changes (mutations) or genetic syndromes. […] People with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, also called Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, lack a gene that suppresses tumors. The genetic mutation that causes the syndrome is inherited. This syndrome results in the development of multiple odontogenic keratocysts within the jaws, multiple basal cell skin cancers and other characteristics.

• #3 Odontogenic Keratocyst Pathology: Definition, Epidemiology, Etiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1731868-overview

  Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are generally thought to be derived from remnants of the dental lamina (rests of Seres), traumatic implantation or down growth of the basal cell layer of the surface epithelium, or reduced enamel epithelium of the dental follicle. Studies have suggested a genetic cause, specifically a PTCH gene aberration, in the etiology of these cysts. […] The biologic mechanism associated with the expression of p53 protein in the epithelium of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) is not well understood, but the aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate of these lesions may be related to the expression of this protein. […] The NBCCS or PTCH gene has been mapped to chromosome 9q22.3-q31, which functions as a tumor suppressor. Studies on NBCCS and occasional solitary odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) suggest that the PTCH gene might play a role in the development of sporadic OKCs.
