Study Notes

Gorlin Syndrome

Gorlin syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by PTCH1 mutations.
It is also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS).
The syndrome is associated with various neoplasms, including basal cell carcinomas, medulloblastomas, and ovarian fibromas.

Meningioma

Meningioma is a type of tumor that occurs in the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
It is associated with Gorlin syndrome.
Tx: enucleation with curettage; Px: ~2% recurrence.

Odontogenic Lesions

Odontogenic lesions are abnormalities that originate from the dental lamina or its remnants.
Examples include dentigerous cysts, lateral periodontal cysts, and keratocystic odontogenic tumors.

Dentigerous Cyst

A dentigerous cyst is a type of odontogenic cyst that forms around the crown of an impacted tooth.
It is the most common type of odontogenic cyst.
Origin: rests of Serres (remnants of dental lamina).

Lateral Periodontal Cyst

A lateral periodontal cyst is a type of odontogenic cyst that forms along the lateral root surface of a tooth.
It is an uncommon developmental cyst.
Origin: rests of Serres (remnants of dental lamina).

Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor

A keratocystic odontogenic tumor is a type of odontogenic tumor that forms from the remnants of the dental lamina.
It can be isolated or associated with Gorlin syndrome.
Origin: rests of Serres (dental lamina remnants).

Eruption Cyst

An eruption cyst is a type of odontogenic cyst that forms over an erupting tooth.
Also known as "eruption hematoma".
Origin: rests of Serres (dental lamina remnants).

Periapical Cyst

A periapical cyst is a type of odontogenic cyst that forms at the apex of a nonvital tooth.
Tx options: enucleation with curettage.

Odontogenic Tumors

Odontogenic tumors are neoplasms that arise from the odontogenic apparatus.
Examples include ameloblastoma, unicystic ameloblastoma, and ameloblastic carcinoma.

Ameloblastoma

An ameloblastoma is a type of odontogenic tumor that forms from the enamel organ.
It can be unicystic or solid.
Tx: enucleation with curettage.

Unicystic Ameloblastoma

A unicystic ameloblastoma is a type of odontogenic tumor that forms from the enamel organ.
It is a rare variant of ameloblastoma.
Tx: enucleation with curettage.

Ameloblastic Carcinoma

An ameloblastic carcinoma is a type of odontogenic tumor that forms from the enamel organ.
It is a rare and aggressive tumor.
Tx: surgical resection.
