The odontogenic keratocyst. A clinicopathologic study of 312 cases. Part II. Histologic features.

The histopathologic features of 312 odontogenic keratocysts are described. These features are discussed in relation to their pathogenesis and behavioral characteristics, including recurrence factors and neoplastic potential. In addition, a discussion and comparison of the histologic features found in solitary keratocysts, keratocysts associated with the basal-cell nevus--bifid rib syndrome, multiple keratocysts in patients with no other syndrome manifestations, and recurrent kerocysts is presented.
