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.
