| Abstract | |
Radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst with diverse histopathological presentation. Diversity might mislead the diagnosis of this pathology but also at the same time provide many relevant information regarding its nature and behavior. In total of 27 cases of radicular cyst that were observed histopathological variations in epithelial growth pattern, mucous metaplasia, cholesterol clefts, juxta-epithelial hyalinisation, Russel body, foamy macrophage, multinucleate giant cell and odontogenic epithelial rests were observed; indicating chronicity, aggressiveness and adaptive mechanism of the lesion as well as the host. Surgically excised tissue of any periapical pathology must undergo a regular histopathological evaluation retrieving information focusing on its aggressive behavior and potential for malignant transformation. |
