Clinicoradiological spectrum of primary aneurysmal bone cysts of the maxillofacial region: A series of 31 cases.

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to analyse the demographic, clinical and radiological features of primary aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) involving the maxillofacial region.

Methods: Histologically confirmed cases affecting the maxillofacial region were retrospectively reviewed over a 21-year period (2000-2021). Cases were collected from the archives of five Oral Pathology laboratories from three countries: South Africa, Guatemala and Brazil.

Clinical and radiologic spectrum of glandular odontogenic cysts: A multicenter study of 92 cases.

Objective: The purpose of this multicenter retrospective study was to report the clinical and radiologic features of 92 glandular odontogenic cysts (GOCs) diagnosed over a 20-year period.

Study Design: Histologically confirmed cases of GOC were retrospectively reviewed from 4 oral pathology laboratories in South Africa and Brazil to categorize the clinical and radiologic spectrum of GOCs.

Results: The mean age of patients was 46 years (range 17-87) with a male-to-female ratio of 1.

Calcifying odontogenic cysts: A 20-year retrospective clinical and radiological review.

Objective: Calcifying odontogenic cysts (COCs) exhibit diverse clinical behaviours and may be associated with other benign odontogenic tumours. In this study, the clinical and radiological features of COCs were analysed according to subtypes based on the classification by Praetorius et al. Emphasis was placed on cases exhibiting atypical or aggressive radiological appearances.

Familial florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: a report of three cases and review of the literature.

Familial cases of benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws are rare and have been described under numerous terms including familial gigantiform cementoma, multiple cemento-ossifying fibromas, sclerotic cemental masses and familial florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. The synonymous and interchangeable use of these terms to describe distinct entities with overlapping features has resulted in confusion and inaccurate categorisation of these lesions. This study highlights three family members with diffuse fibro-osseous jaw lesions with areas of significant expansion.
