Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the three-dimensional radiographic characteristics of calcifying odon-togenic cyst and calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor using spiral computed tomography(CT)and cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT).Methods:Clinical records,histopathological reports,and CBCT or non-enhanced spiral CT images of 19 consecutive patients with calcifying odontogenic cyst(COC)and 16 consecutive patients with calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor(CEOT)were retrospec-tively acquired,and radiographic features,including location,size,expansion,internal structure and calcification,were analyzed.Results:Among the 19 COC cases(12 males and 7 females,with an average age of 27 years),89.5％(17/19)of the lesions originated from the anterior and premolar areas,100.0％of them exhibited cortex expansion,and 78.9％had discontinued cortex.Among the 16 CEOT cases(3 males and 13 females,with an average age of 36 years),81.3％(13/16)of the lesions were in the premolar and molar areas,56.3％of them exhibited cortex expansion,and 96.8％had discontinued cortex.According to the distribution of internal calcifications,these lesions were divided in-to:Ⅰ(non-calcification type):absence of calcification;Ⅱ(eccentric marginal type):multiple calcifi-cations scattered along one side of the lesion;Ⅲ(diffused type):numerous calcifications diffusely dis-tributed into the lesion;Ⅳ(plaque type):with a ≥ 5 mm calcified patch;V(peri-coronal type):multiple calcifications clustered around impacted teeth.Calcifications were present in 73.7％of COC le-sions,including 9 type Ⅱ,3 type Ⅲ and 2 type Ⅳ lesions,and 42.8％of CEOT lesions had calcifica-tion images,including 2 type Ⅲ and 5 type V lesions.Six COC lesions had odontoma-like images.Moreover,8 of 9 type Ⅰ CEOTs were histologically Langerhans cell-rich subtype,which had a smaller size(with an average mesiodistal diameter of 17.8 mm)and were not associated with impacted teeth.Conclusion:COC lesions tended to originate from the anterior part of the jaw and exhibit cortex expan-sion,and were sometimes associated with odontoma.CEOT commonly occurred in the posterior jaw and had discontinued cortex.Two lesions had significantly different calcification map.Over 70％of COC le-sions had calcification images,which were mostly scattered along one side of the cysts,far from the im-pacted teeth.Approximately 60％of CEOT lesions exhibited smaller size and non-calcification,and the remaining CEOT cases often had calcification images clustered around the impacted teeth.
