This article covers odontogenic tumours and cysts, which is a subset of oral pathology and can be grouped under the heading of head and neck pathology.

The general topic of head and neck pathology is covered in the head and neck pathology and head and neck cytopathology articles.

The vast majority of oral malignancies are squamous cell carcinoma. Common odontogenic cysts are dentigerous cysts, and radicular cysts.[1]

Tooth histology 101

Teeth develop from a combination of:

  1. Epithelium (downward growth).
  2. Mesenchyme.

Identifying stuff

Pulp:

  • Paucicellular.
  • Pale staining.

Enamel:

  • Hyperchromatic (dark purple).
  • "Fish scale" appearance.

Image:

Enamel 101

  • Arises from reduced enamel epithelium.

Reduced enamel epithelium

Microscopic

Features:

  • Bilayered epithelium consisting of:
    • Cuboidal/columnar cells with:
      • Moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm.
      • Round (slightly irregular) centrally place nuclei.

Notes:

  • Transforms into squamous epithelium. (???)

Specific entities

Odontoma

General

  • Usually diagnosed clinically.
  • Benign.
  • Most common odontogenic tumour - considered to be a hamartoma.[2]
  • Etiology unknown.[3]
  • Typically first two decades of life.

Classification:[2]

  • Compound odontoma - tooth-like structure.
  • Complex odontoma - disorganized mass of odontogenic tissues.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Dentin.
  • Cementum.
  • Pulpal tissue.
  • Enamel - has a "fish-scale" appearance.
    • Usually lost during decalcificiation.

Images:

Radicular cyst

  • AKA periapical cyst.

Clinical

  • Non-vital tooth - key feature.
    • The tooth that has lost its nerve.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Squamous epithelium - non-keratinized - important.
  • +/-Giant cells.
  • +/-Cholesterol clefts.
  • +/-Abundant plasma cells.

DDx:

Dentigerous cyst

General

  • Unerupted tooth - usually wisdom teeth.
    • Young adults.

Treatment:

Gross

  • Lesion at crown of tooth.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Squamous epithelium.
    • Classically described as non-keratinized - in which case the diagnosis is straight forward - important.
    • Approximately half have keratin.[6]
  • +/-Giant cells.
  • +/-Cholesterol clefts.

Keratinized

MAXILLARY SINUS CYST, LEFT, EXCISION:
- ACANTHOTIC STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM WITH INFLAMMATION, COMPACT
KERATIN AND FOCAL PARAKERATOSIS -- CONSISTENT WITH DENTIGEROUS CYST WITH KERATIN.
- BENIGN BONE.
- NEGATIVE FOR ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYSTIC TUMOUR (ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYST).

Keratocystic odontogenic tumour

Ameloblastoma

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour

Ameloblastic fibroma

General

  • Paedatric population.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Palisaded nuclei.
  • Fibrous stroma.

Notes:

  • No stellate reticulum.

DDx:

Odontogenic myxoma

General

  • Benign tumour of mesenchymal origin.
  • Often reoccurs.
  • Radiologic DDx includes ameloblastoma.

Gross

  • Gelatinous mass.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Paucicellular lesion with pale staining.

Squamous odontogenic tumour
