Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate odontogenic keratocysts associated with basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resornance imaging (MRI) including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and compare them with sporadic cases.
Materials and methods: This study investigated 17 outpatients who underwent panoramic radiography, CT, and MRI between August 2012 and January 2021. Five of these patients had BCNS had 16 odontogenic keratocysts, for which the authors recorded detailed findings. DWI analysis compared the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of odontogenic keratocysts in patients with BCNS and sporadic cases. The Mann-Whitney test was used to analyse bivariate statistics.
Results: Patients with BCNS had an average of 3.2 lesions in the jaw. On DWI, the ADC value ranged from 0.58 to 2.66 × 10-3 mm2/s. The values for sporadic odontogenic keratocysts ranged from 0.67 to 1.11 × 10-3 mm2/s. The median values were 0.94 and 0.89 for BCNS-associated and sporadic odontogenic keratocysts cases, respectively (P = .478).
Conclusion: This study presented detailed imaging findings of odontogenic keratocysts in patients with BCNS. Furthermore, the authors revealed a wide range of ADC values for BCNS-associated odontogenic keratocysts.
期刊介绍:
As the official English-language journal of the Japanese Society for Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology and the Asian Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral Radiology is intended to be a forum for international collaboration in head and neck diagnostic imaging and all related fields. Oral Radiology features cutting-edge research papers, review articles, case reports, and technical notes from both the clinical and experimental fields. As membership in the Society is not a prerequisite, contributions are welcome from researchers and clinicians worldwide.
