Abstract | Odontogenic keratocysts are cystic lesions of the jaws that were traditionally classified as developmental odontogenic cysts. However, some of these lesions have various clinical, pathohistological and molecular characteristics that are typical of tumorous tissues. Consequently, in the new classification scheme adopted by the World Health Organization in 2005, some odontogenic keratocysts are classified as benign odontogenic tumours and grouped under a new name: keratocystic odontogenic tumours. The purpose of this article is to call attention to the new classification of odontogenic keratocysts and outline their main clinical, pathohistological and molecular features. | |
