| Summary: | Background: The keratocystic odontogenic tumors is a benign
but one of most aggressive developmental cyst with many
distinguishing clinical and histologic features and high recurrence
rate. In the given study, authors have studied and presented their
experience of managing Keratocystic odontogenic tumour. The
aim of the study was to define an appropriate treatment protocol
for the management of KCOT.
Materials and Methods: Total eight patients, whose
histopathological reports confirmed Gorlin – Goltz syndrome
and KCOT, with age between 10 – 50 years, were selected
from cases being treated at Sree Balaji Dental College, Chennai,
India. Enucleation and resection were the surgical techniques
employed. Modality of treatment was based on parameters like
age , size, aggressiveness and extent of the lesion. All the patients
were operated under general anaesthesia. Cases were studied,
reviewed and followed up for five years between 2007-2012
Results: The study included 8 cases in which three cases were
opted for resection and five cases for enucleation followed by
application of Carnoy’s solution.
Conclusion: Treatment modality should be decided on age,
extent, aggressiveness and nature of the tumour. |
