OBJECTIVES: The current study was conducted to analyze immunohistochemical appearance of P53 protein in odontogenic cysts. METHODOLOGY: Thirty paraffin blocks of confirmed case were prepared to investigate the immunohistochemical appearance of P53 protein. RESULTS: Sixteen out of thirty odontogenic cysts (53.3%) showed P53, four out of ten dentigerous cyst (40%) had P53, twelve out of fifteen odontogenic keratocysts (80%) expressed P53 while none of the five radicular cysts (0%) showed P53 protein. CONCLUSION: Reclassification of OKC as keratocystic odontogenic tumor was supported by the present study and its findings.

Distinguishing squamous odontogenic tumor-like proliferations (SOTLPs) is important in odontogenic cysts to avoid misinterpretation such as a squamous odontogenic tumor, well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, and acanthomatous type of ameloblastoma. This study is aimed at reporting 4 cases of these clinicopathological proliferations in order to shed more light on the importance of distinguishing them from other similar types. 150 odontogenic cysts were studied in which four cases (2.66%) with SOTLPs were identified including 2 radicular cysts, 1 dentigerous cyst, and 1 odontogenic keratocyst. These proliferations were observed in the cysts’ wall particularly adjacent to the epithelial lining. All cysts had inflammation while 3 cases showed budding from the epithelial cyst lining. The findings suggested that lining of odontogenic cysts could be a source of SOTLPs, and inflammation probably played an effective role in their development. Its incidence was 2.66% in the present study. Although SOTLPs are not frequent in odontogenic cysts, their identification is important to prevent wrong histopathologic interpretation and treatment.
