Cytokeratins 14 and 19 in Odontogenic Cytokeratins 14 and 19 in odontogenic cysts and tumors: a review Nieves Sabrina*, Apellaniz Delmira*, Tapia Gabriel**, Maglia Alvaro***, Mosqueda-Taylor Adalberto****, Bologna-Molina Ronell*****. Abstract All mammal cells include a cytoplasmic fiber system essential for cell mobility, the cytoskeleton, formed by three main structural units and associated proteins: microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. Cytokeratins are intermediate filaments forming a complex network which extends from the nucleus surface to the peripheral cell sector, where they are inserted into desmosomes and hemidesmosomes. Cytokeratins 14 and 19 have been used as diagnosis and prognosis markers in various tumors of epithelial origin, not only to identify a cell as epithelial, but also to identify different stages during epithelial differentiation and to characterize the tumor. There are numerous studies in biomedical literature that have exemplified the utility of cytokeratins 14 and 19 to identify odontogenic epithelium. This review analyzes the utility of their immunologic expression in the different cysts and odontogenic tumors. Keywords: Cytokeratin 14, Cytokeratin 19, Odontogenic cysts, Odontogenic tumors. * Molecular Pathology Trainee, Facultad de Odontología, UdelaR, Uruguay ** Assistant Professor, Grade 3, Department of Histology, Facultad de Odontología, UdelaR, Uruguay *** Associate Professor, Grade 5, Department of Histology, Facultad de Odontología, UdelaR, Uruguay **** Specialist in Pathology and Oral Medicine, Full-time Research Professor, Health Care Department, Universidad Autónoma Metro- politana, Mexico ***** Specialist in Pathology and Oral Medicine, Doctor in Biological Sciences (Molecular Pathology), Full-time Associate Professor, Grade 5, Molecular Pathology, Facultad de Odontología, UdelaR, Uruguay Received on: 08.05.14 - Accepted on: 01.09.14 Odontoestomatología / Vol. XVI.

Connors, Sr., Chairman; Paul R. Dean, Trustee; William Miller, Trustee; Donald E. Pierce, Jr., Trustee; Thomas H. Saggau, Trustee. Pursuant to Article IX of the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA!') 1950 Benefit Plan and Trust, and under the authority of an exemption granted by the United States Department of Labor, the Trustees have reviewed the facts and circumstances of this dispute concerning the provision of benefits for a disabled Employee under the terms of the Employer Benefit Plan. Background Facts On October 18, 1990, the Employee's spouse consulted a dental surgeon for the evaluation and treatment of severe facial swelling. The patient was scheduled for surgery on October 31, 1990. The dental surgeon extracted five abscessed teeth, performed an enucleation of an enlarged maxillary cyst, a biopsy to rule out malignancy, and an immediate reconstruction of the left maxillary defect with bone graft material. The biopsy confirmed a pre-operative diagnosis of a large odontogenic cyst of the left maxilla. The Employee has stated that the company administrator gave prior approval for the procedure. The Employer provided benefits for the dental services up to the scheduled amounts payable under its Dental Plan, and denied medical benefits under the Employer Benefit Plan for the remaining charges on the grounds that the services were dental services, and not covered by the Employer's Medical Benefit Plan.

It is the most common type of oral SCC, which accounts for over 75% of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity. Clinically, it is more common in men over 55 years of age, heavy smokers and heavy drinkers, more in males especially black males. However, it has been described in young white males, under the age of fifty non-smokers and non-drinkers. The latter group constitutes less than 5% of the patients and their SCCs tend to be in the posterior mouth (oropharynx and tosillar area) associated with HPV infection especially HPV type 16. The most common sites for the tobacco-associated are the lateral and ventral tongue, followed by the floor of mouth and soft palate area.

The WHO systems of classification is a time - honoured system that has prevailed from decades together and is under constant evolution. Classification of Odontogenic Tumours was formulated by Pieree Paul Broar and has undergone several transformations over 1989 - till 2017. So many entities appear every year in the classification. The study aimed to assess the knowledge , awareness regarding recently revised modification of OT among oral pathologists.A cross sectional, questionnaire based survey study was conducted among 100 oral pathologists around chennai and puducherry population. Ethical clearance was given by the institutional review board and study was conducted over a period of 2 weeks through the questionnaire in google forms and sent in an email link.

Orthokeratinised Odontogenic Cyst: A Diagnostic Havoc Balamurugan R*, Sahana PT Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, RYA Cosmo Foundation Hospital, Chennai, India *Correspondence should be addressed to Balamurugan R, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, RYA Cosmo Foundation Hospital, Chennai, India; Tel: 9941259243; E-mail: [email protected] Received: 7 Aug 2019 • Accepted: 17 Aug 2019 ABSTRACT This case report presents a 27 year old male patient who reported with pain in his anterior mandible since a week. History revealed an incidence of trauma on his chin when he was young for which he didn't undergo any treatment. On examination buccal cortical expansion was clinically evident and tenderness was elicited on percussing over the lower anterior teeth. Aspiration was negative initially while it showed serous blood the second time. Radiograph featured an unilocular radiolucency extending from distal of left mandibular first premolar to mesial of right mandibular first molar with an impacted right mandibular canine was seen. Displacement of teeth and inter-radicular scalloping were also evident. With all these clinical and radiographic features we could arrive at a provisional diagnosis of odontogenic keratocyst. A differential diagnosis of traumatic bone cyst and ameloblastoma were also considered. A Complete surgical excision with curettage of the cystic cavity was performed following which histopathological evaluation confirmed the lesion to be an orthokeratinised odontogenic cyst.
