A case of odontogenic tumorous lesion with particular histological structures

A case report and immunohistochemical studies

Abstract

Cystic or tumorous lesions develop from the odontugenic tissues, including enamel organ, dental lamina and enamel epithelium, with embedded teeth. This paper reports on the case of a disease in third molar region of the right mandible of a 14-year-old boy.
On the first examination it was diagnosed as a deritigerous cyst by X-ray finding, but postoperative histopatliology revealed three different epitheliums in the fibrous tissue. Immunohistochemically examination of this lesion, one of the epithelium showed positive staining with anti-keratin and vimentin antibodies. In this report, we mentioned the difficulty of clinical diagnosis and the importance of histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations.
