Multiple maxillary and mandibular cysts are principle features of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS; Gorlin-Goltz syndrome). We present a family case report of NBCCS with odontogenic keratocyst where the findings on plain films, CT, clinical, and histopathologic examinations are compared and analyzed. The systemic manifestations included frontal bossing, odontogenic keratocyst, ectopic calcification in 1 patient, and bifid rib in 1 patient. CT examination displayed aspects of bone morphology not visible on the plain films. Odontogenic keratocyst diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. The features identified by these combined clinical, imaging, and histologic findings are helpful in identifying an NBCCS patient, distinguishing keratocyst from others cysts or neoplasic lesions, and can therefore influence surgical management. NBCCS is a rare autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome, which is important to recognize when a patient has multiple odontogenic keratocysts, because lifelong monitoring is essential for patient management.

Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal RNA modification in mammals, plays a critical role in many forms of cancer. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) serves as the main catalytic subunit of the m6A writer and plays a role in the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. To date, the role of METTL3 in odontogenic lesions has never been investigated.

Background: Considering the significant participation of the microenvironment in the local aggressiveness of odontogenic keratocysts, this study aims to evaluate the expression of ADAMTS-1 and its substrates, versican, aggrecan and brevican in this locally invasive odontogenic cyst.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were conducted on 30 cases of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) and 20 dental follicles (DFs).

Results: The immunohistochemical expression of these proteins was predominantly cytoplasmic and granular across all samples.
