Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the relative incidence of odontogenic cysts and tumors in Karachi-Pakistan.
Study design: This was a retrospective observational study of 100 cysts and 141 tumors that were included in the database of 6000 patients of histopathological diagnoses of Dow Diagnostic Reference and Research laboratory and The Laboratory, from 2001-2010. Following variables were recorded:gender, age and clinical characteristics of the lesions (size and location).A descriptive analysis was done using SPSS version 16.
Results: The incidence of the odontogenic cyst was 1.6% and 2.35% for the tumors. The cysts (61%) and tumors (63.1) were both more prevalent in males.Most frequent diagnosis was radicular cysts (53%) and odontogenic keratocystic tumor (27%). The most common location for cyst (51%) and tumors (68%) both was mandible.
Conclusion: Knowledge of the biological and histological behavior of odontogenic cysts and their frequency are key aspects for ensuring early detection and adequate treatment.
