Keratocystic odontogenic tumour, abbreviated KOT, is an uncommon odontogenic tumour.

It was previously known as odontogenic keratocyst, abbreviated OKC.[1]

General

Clinical

Features:[2]

  • Most common presentation: swelling.

Gross

  • Location: usually mandible.
  • May mimic ameloblastoma radiologically.

Microscopic

Features: [3]

  • 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.
  • Parakeratosis (keratinized cells with nuclei) - key feature.
  • Artefactual separation of epithelium from the basement membrane.
