Radicular cysts are the most common cystic lesions of the jaw. Most of these lesions involve the apex of the offending tooth and appear as well-defined periapical radiolucencies. This case presents an unusually large multilocular radicular cyst crossing the midline and involving almost the entire body of the mandible. The clinical and radiographic appearance mimicked an aggressive cyst or benign tumor. The lesion was surgically excised, and the teeth were endodontically treated without any postoperative complications.

The surgical ciliated cyst is a newly added entity under the cysts of the jaws in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (2022). It is preceded by a prior surgery to the jaw many years before its diagnosis. A 53-year-old Chinese female, who had undergone cleft lip and palate repair followed by orthognathic surgery before the age of 20, was referred for management of an incidentally found cyst in the left maxilla.

Objectives:  This study aimed to evaluate the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in radicular cysts and periapical granulomas, thereby contributing to the understanding of their potential significance in the differential diagnosis and treatment of these lesions.

Materials And Methods:  In the present cross-sectional study, 51 samples of periapical lesions were included. Of them, 24 samples were radicular cysts, and 27 samples were periapical granulomas.

Application of Radiomics Features in Differential Diagnosis of Odontogenic Cysts.

Dentomaxillofac Radiol

November 2024

Selcuk University Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department, Konya, 42130, Turkiye.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to differentiate between radicular cysts (RCs), dentigerous cysts (DCs), and odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) using radiomic features as a non-invasive diagnosis method before surgery.
  • A total of 161 cysts were analyzed through semi-automatic segmentation of CBCT images, focusing on various shape-based and textural features to assess their differences.
  • Results indicated significant statistical differences in radiomic features among the cyst types, suggesting these features could help with differential diagnosis without needing a biopsy.
