Keratocystic odontogenic tumour, abbreviated KOT, is an uncommon odontogenic tumour.
It was previously known as odontogenic keratocyst, abbreviated OKC.[1]
General
- May be associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
- Very rarely transforms to a squamous cell carinoma.[2]
Clinical
Features:[3]
- Most common presentation: swelling.
Gross
- Location: usually mandible.
- May mimic ameloblastoma radiologically.
Microscopic
Features: [4]
- Stratified epithelium (resembling squamous epithelium) with:
- "Ribbon-like appearance" - important.
- Typically 8-10 cell layers thick - with relatively uniform thickness.
- Lacks rete ridges.
- Palisaded basal cell layer.
- "Ribbon-like appearance" - important.
- Parakeratosis (keratinized cells with nuclei) - key feature.
- Artefactual separation of epithelium from the basement membrane.
DDx:
- Odontogenic cyst.
- Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst[5] - usu. dentigerous cyst - has orthokeratosis instead of parakeratosis.
- Orthokeratosis = keratinized cells no nuclei; parakeratosis = keratinized cell with nuclei.
- Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst[5] - usu. dentigerous cyst - has orthokeratosis instead of parakeratosis.
