Epithelial inclusion cyst secondary to glaucoma surgery: A case series.

Epithelial inclusion cysts (EIC) are a rare ocular disease and its physiopathology is not well-known. They consist on growths of ocular surface epithelial cells inside the anterior segment of the eye in the form of a cyst. To date several cases have been published in the literature, none of them related to glaucoma surgery. We describe two cases of EIC after glaucoma devices implantation. An 86 year-old male patient with primary open angle glaucoma develop an EIC in right eye three years after removal of PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt (Santen, Osaka, Japan) and a 9 year-old female patient with glaucoma secondary to uveitis for juvenile idiopathic arthritis develops an EIC under the tube of an Ahmed valve implant during postoperative period. EIC develop after ocular penetrating wounds and an inflammatory stimulus. They are benign proliferations, follow-up is necessary to detect space complications early, so less mutilating surgery is needed for removal.

Enteric duplication cysts in paediatric population along with literature review / Quistes de duplicación entérica en población pediátrica y revisión de la literatura

The clinical presentation of enteric duplication cysts is dependent on the location of the cyst with symptoms varying from nausea and vomiting to abdominal distension, pain and perforation. Four patients were identified who were diagnosed with enteric duplication cysts within the period from 2019 to 2023. Three of the patients presented with signs of intestinal obstruction-abdominal distension and pain, while one had an antenatally detected abdominal mass. There were three boys and one girl with ages ranging from 4 months to 14 years. Three cases of ileal and one case of caecal duplication cyst were reported. Most of the cases showed ileal/caecal mucosa while one case demonstrated ectopic gastric mucosa. The treatment of these cysts includes surgical excision. Although radiological investigations help in arriving at a provisional diagnosis, the final diagnosis can be confirmed only after histopathological examination. Early treatment prevents complications and results in a good prognosis for the patient. (AU)

La presentación clínica de los quistes de duplicación entérica depende de la ubicación del quiste, y los síntomas varían desde náuseas y vómitos hasta distensión abdominal, dolor y perforación. Se identificaron cuatro pacientes que fueron diagnosticados con quistes de duplicación entérica en el período de 2019 a 2023. Tres de los pacientes presentaron signos de obstrucción intestinal (distensión abdominal y dolor), mientras que uno tenía una masa abdominal detectada prenatalmente. Eran tres niños y una niña con edades comprendidas entre 4 meses y 14 años. Se notificaron tres casos de quiste de duplicación ileal y un caso de quiste de duplicación cecal. La mayoría de los casos mostraron mucosa ileal/cecal, mientras que un caso mostró mucosa gástrica ectópica. El tratamiento de estos quistes incluye la escisión quirúrgica. Aunque las investigaciones radiológicas ayudan a llegar a un diagnóstico provisional, el diagnóstico final solo puede confirmarse después del examen histopatológico. El tratamiento precoz previene complicaciones y redunda en un buen pronóstico para el paciente. (AU)

Principales tipos de quistes en dermatopatología: Parte 2 / Main Types of Cysts in Dermatopathology: Part 2

Este es el segundo artículo de una serie de dos publicados en esta revista, en los que examinamos las características histopatológicas, así como el diagnóstico diferencial, de las principales entidades que se presentan en forma de estructuras quísticas y pseudoquísticas en la biopsia cutánea. En este segundo artículo, abordamos los quistes cutáneo ciliado, branquial, de Bartholino, onfalomesentérico, tímico, del conducto tirogloso, sinovial, y del rafe medio, así como el mucocele, el ganglión y los pseudoquistes auricular y mixoide digital. (AU)

This is the second article in a two-part series published in this journal, in which we examine the histopathological characteristics, as well as the differential diagnosis, of the main entities that present as cystic and pseudocystic structures in cutaneous biopsy. In this second article, we address ciliated cutaneous cysts, branchial cysts, Bartholin's cysts, omphalomesenteric cysts, thymic cysts, thyroglossal duct cysts, synovial cysts, and median raphe cysts, as well as mucocele, ganglion, and auricular and digital myxoid pseudocysts.

Disasters that develop in the liver due to hydatid cyst: a case report.

Hilar cavernous transformation is the formation of venous structures rich in collateral around the portal vein. Portal vein thrombosis is a rare entity. Although there are many reasons for its etiology, few cases have been reported secondary to hydatid cysts in the liver. Here, we present a 24-year-old patient with complaints of abdominal pain and swelling. Her CT and MRI scans show cholelithiasis with portal vein thrombosis and hilar cavernous transformation due to giant hydatid cyst compression in the lateral liver sector.

La transformación cavernosa hiliar es la formación de estructuras venosas ricas en colaterales alrededor de la vena porta. La trombosis de la vena porta es una afección poco frecuente. Aunque existen muchas razones en su etiología, se han descrito pocos casos secundarios a quiste hidatídico en el hígado. Aquí se presenta el caso de una paciente de 24 años con quejas de dolor abdominal e hinchazón. La tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética mostraron colelitiasis con trombosis de la vena porta y transformación cavernosa hiliar por compresión del quiste hidatídico gigante en el sector lateral del hígado.

Terson's syndrome after endoscopic removal of a colloid cyst.

An extremely rare complication of endoscopic colloid cyst removal is presented. Terson's syndrome related to endoscopic resection of a colloid cyst has been reported only twice before in the literature and it could be explained by intracranial hypertension related to rinsing during the procedure. The case is described and the complications in the neuroendoscopic removal of colloid cyst are reviewed from the literature.

Hidatidosis pulmonar como causa de hemoptisis recidivante / Pulmonary hydatidosis as a cause of recurrent hemoptysis

La hidatidosis es una zoonosis poco frecuente causada por cestodos del género Echinococcus. El órgano afectado con mayor frecuencia es el hígado, seguido del pulmón. La hidatidosis pulmonar se caracteriza por cursar de forma asintomática en la mayoría de los casos, y en muchas ocasiones suele ser un hallazgo casual en estudios realizados con otros fines. El diagnóstico resulta complejo por la diversidad de la presentación clínica, las pruebas serológicas pueden resultar negativas y los hallazgos de laboratorio son inespecíficos, por lo que debería ser un diagnóstico a tener en cuenta sobre todo en zonas con alta prevalencia de esta infestación. (AU)

Hydatidosis is a rare zoonosis caused by cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. The most frequently affected organ is the liver, followed by the lung. Pulmonary hydatidosis is characterized by an asymptomatic course in most cases, and in many cases it is usually an incidental finding in studies performed for other purposes. The diagnosis is complex due to the diversity of the clinical presentation, serological tests can be negative and laboratory findings are nonspecific, so it should be a diagnosis to consider especially in areas with high prevalence of this infestation.

Quistes Dentígeros Asociados a Mesiodens. Revisión de la Literatura a Propósito de Dos Casos

El mesiodens es el diente supernumerario que se origina en la premaxila, siendo considerado el más prevalente o el más diagnosticado debido a las numerosas alteraciones que producen y que incluyen malposición de los dientes permanentes, formación de diastemas, retraso en la erupción de los incisivos anteriores superiores, y formación de quistes. La etiología de los mesiodens no está completamente comprendida, aunque se piensa que pueda deberse a la proliferación de la lámina dental u otros factores genéticos. El diagnóstico generalmente es tardío debido a que la mayoría permanece sin erupcionar, pudiendo generar complicaciones dentomaxilares que finalmente son el motivo de consulta de los pacientes. El quiste dentígero es un quiste odontogénico del desarrollo asociado a la corona de un diente incluido, numerario o supernumerario y su tratamiento es quirúrgico. El diagnóstico temprano y la planificación del tratamiento debe considerar una anamnesis minuciosa, un examen clínico e imágenes 3D. La cirugía debe consistir en la desinclusión del diente causal, la exéresis y legrado de la lesión, con o sin regeneración ósea inmediata del lecho quirúrgico con injerto. Se presentan dos casos de quiste dentígero asociado a un mesiodens que se diagnosticaron como hallazgo radiográfico. El plan de tratamiento consistió en evaluación y tratamiento endodóntico de los dientes desvitalizados, enucleción y legrado del quiste, junto a la desinclu sión del diente supernumerario, y seguimiento clínico y radiográfico en el largo plazo.

Mesiodens is the supernumerary tooth that originates in the premaxilla, considered the most prevalent or, the most diagnosed due to the multiple alterations that produce and that include malposition of the permanent teeth, formation of gaps, delayed eruption of the upper anterior incisors and cyst formation. The etiology of mesiodens is not fully established, although it is thought that it may be due dental lamina alteration or other genetic factors. Diagnosis is usually late because most remain unerupted, and can generate dentomaxillary complications that are ultimately the reason for patient consultation. The dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst associated with the crown of an included, numerary or supernumerary tooth and its treatment is surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment planning should consider a careful history, clinical examination, and 3D imaging. The surgery must consist of the disinclusion of the offending tooth, the exeresis and curettage of the lesion, with or without immediate bone regeneration of the surgical bed with a graft. Two cases of a dentigerous cyst associated with a mesiodens that were diagnosed as a radiographic finding are presented. The treatment plan consisted in evaluation and endodontic treatment of devitalized teeth, enucleation and curettage of the cyst, together with the disinclusion of the supernumerary tooth, and long-term clinical and radiographic follow-up.

Glandular Odontogenic Cyst: A Case Report and Literature Review

The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a pathological entity that most commonly develops in the anterior region of the mandible and can emulate other lesions, including other cysts, odontogenic tumors, and even malignant lesions of glandular origin. Therefore, the aim of this manuscript is to report a new case of GOC treated conservatively and to discuss its clinical, radiological, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects.

El quiste odontogénico glandular (QOG) es una entidad patológica que se desarrolla con mayor frecuencia en la región anterior de la mandíbula y que puede mimetizar otras lesiones incluyendo otros quistes, tumores odontogénicos y hasta lesiones malignas de origen glandular. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente manuscrito es reportar un nuevo caso de QOG tratado de forma conservadora y discutir sus aspectos clínicos, imagenológicos, anatomopatológicos y terapéuticos.

Vertical dorsal rhinotomy in pediatric nasal dermoid surgery.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Nasal dermoids are uncommon midline congenital lesions in the nose, usually diagnosed in the first years of life. Imaging is mandatory to evaluate local and intracranial extension and treatment consists in surgical excision. This study aims to review the experience of the department in managing pediatric nasal dermoids using a dorsal rhinotomy surgical approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective case series of pediatric nasal dermoids treated at a tertiary university teaching hospital over a period of seven years. RESULTS: Nine children were treated during this period. Clinical presentation was a dermoid sinus-cyst in seven cases and a cystic lesion in two. Pre-operative imaging revealed extension of the lesion to the foramen cecum in three cases. Surgery was performed via vertical dorsal rhinotomy in all patients, and associated endoscopic surgery was used in three patients. Reconstruction with autologous material was performed in three cases. No complications or recurrences were registered during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In the presented series, a vertical dorsal rhinotomy incision has provided good functional and aesthetic results. The possibility of nasal dermoid intracranial extension should be accessed with imaging but remains uncommon. In its absence, this approach may be useful and can be paired with other techniques, such as nasal endoscopy, to achieve the best outcomes.

Diagnóstico y tratamiento de los quistes hepáticos. Utilidad de los marcadores tumorales intraquísticos (CEA y CA 19.9.) / Diagnosis and treatment of hepatic cysts: Usefulness of intracystic tumor markers (CEA and CA 19.9)

Introducción: El tratamiento de los quistes hepáticos requiere del diagnóstico diferencial de quiste simple hepático (QSH) de la neoplasia mucinosa quística (NMQ) hepática. Las características radiológicas no son patognomónicas. Algunos estudios han sugerido la utilidad de los marcadores tumorales (MKT) intraquísticos. Métodos: Análisis retrospectivo de base de datos prospectiva incluyendo pacientes diagnosticados de QSH sintomático desde el 2003 hasta el 2021. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar los resultados del tratamiento de los QSH sintomáticos y analizar la utilidad de la determinación de «carcinoembryonic antigen» (CEA) y «carbohydrate antigen» CA 19.9 intraquísticos. Resultados: Se incluyeron 50 pacientes tratados por quiste sintomático. En 15 pacientes el primer tratamiento fue el drenaje percutáneo. En 35 pacientes se realizó fenestración laparoscópica. Cuatro pacientes se diagnosticaron de lesiones premalignas/malignas (NMQ, NPIB, linfoma B); tres de ellos requirieron una segunda cirugía tras la fenestración y el diagnóstico anatomopatológico. La mediana de los valores de CEA y CA- 19.9 fue de 196μg/L y 227.321U/mL respectivamente. Los pacientes con lesiones premalignas no tuvieron valores elevados de MKT. El valor predictivo positivo fue del 0% en ambos MKT, y el valor predictivo negativo fue de 89% y 91% respectivamente. Conclusiones: Los valores de CEA y CA 19.9 intraquísticos no permiten distinguir los QSH de las NMH. El tratamiento más resolutivo de los QSH sintomáticos es la fenestración quirúrgica. El análisis anatomopatológico de la pared del quiste posibilita su correcto diagnóstico, permitiendo indicar una reintervención quirúrgica en los casos de NMQ.(AU)

Introduction: To decide treatment of hepatic cysts diagnosis between simple hepatic cyst (SHC) and cystic mucinous neoplasm (CMN). Radiological features are not pathognomonic. Some studies have suggested the utility of intracystic tumor markers. Methods: Retrospective analysis of our prospective database including patients treated due to symptomatic SHC from 2003 to 2021. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of treatment of symptomatic SHC and the usefulness of the determination of intracystic “carcinoembryonic antigen” (CEA) and “carbohydrate antigen” CA 19.9. Results: Fifty patients diagnosed and treated for symptomatic SHC were included. In 15 patients the first treatment was percutaneous drainage. In 35 patients the first treatment was laparoscopic fenestration. Four patients were diagnosed of premalignant or malignant liver cystic lesions (MCN, IPMN, and lymphoma B); three of them required surgery after initial fenestration and pathological diagnosis. Median CEA and CA 19.9 were 196μg/L and 227.321U/mL, respectively. Patients with malignant or premalignant pathology did not have higher levels of intracystic tumor markers. Positive predictive value was 0% for both markers, and negative predictive value was 89% and 91%, respectively. Conclusion: Values of intracystic tumor markers CEA and CA 19.9 do not allow distinguishing simple cysts from cystic liver neoplasms. The most effective treatment for symptomatic simple liver cysts is surgical fenestration. The pathological analysis of the wall of the cysts enables the correct diagnosis, allowing to indicate a surgical reintervention in cases of hepatic cyst neoplasia.(AU)

Tratamiento del quiste tirogloso mediante técnica de Koempel. Experiencia inicial / Treatment of thyroglossal cyst using Koempel’s technique: initial experience

Introducción: La intervención de Sistrunk es el gold-standard en el tratamiento del quiste tirogloso pese a su imprecisión en cuanto a la disección suprahioidea. Tras su descripción en 2014, las modificaciones introducidas por Koempel, han permitido un abordaje suprahioideo más reproducible. Presentamos nuestra experiencia inicial con esta técnica. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de los pacientes con quiste tirogloso intervenidos mediante técnica de Koempel en nuestro centro en el periodo 2021-2022, recogiéndose datos demográficos, clínicos e histológicos. Resultados. Durante el periodo de estudio se intervinieron 5 pacientes (3 mujeres/2 varones), con una mediana de edad y peso de 5 años (2-6) y 16 kg (14-25) respectivamente. Todos los casos habían sufrido infecciones previas presentando fistulización cutánea el 60%. En 2 de los pacientes se indicó la cirugía por recidiva tras intervención de Sistrunk. La mediana del tiempo quirúrgico fue de 77minutos (57-110) identificándose el plano del músculo geniogloso en los 5 pacientes. No hubo complicaciones inmediatas y el diagnóstico de quiste tirogloso se confirmó histológicamente en todos los casos. Uno de los pacientes del grupo con recidiva previa, presentó recidiva tras la intervención, siendo esta subclínica y diagnosticada incidentalmente tras ecografía de control. El resto de los pacientes no presentó ninguna recurrencia tras un seguimiento mediana de 8 meses (1-12). Conclusiones: La técnica de Koempel permite un abordaje seguro y reproducible del segmento suprahioideo siendo una opción atractiva en casos complicados por infección o recidiva previa.(AU)

Introduction: In spite of being inaccurate in terms of suprahyoid dissection, Sistrunk’s procedure is the gold-standard technique in the treatment of thyroglossal cyst. Since it was first described in 2014, the modifications introduced by Koempel have allowed for a more reproducible suprahyoid approach. We present our initial experience with this technique.Methods: A retrospective study of patients with thyroglossal cyst undergoing Koempel’s technique in our institution from 2021 to 2022 was carried out. Demographic, clinical, and histological data was collected. Results. In the study period, 5 patients –3 girls and 2 boys– underwent surgery. Median age and weight were 5 years (2-6) and 16 kg (14-25), respectively. All patients had suffered from previous infections, with 60% having cutaneous fistulization. In 2 patients, surgery was indicated following Sistrunk’s procedure as a result of recurrence. Median operating time was 77 minutes (57-110), with the genioglossal muscle plane being identified in the 5 patients. No immediate complications were recorded, and diagnosis of thyroglossal cyst was histologically confirmed in all cases. One of the formerly recurrent patients had recurrence following surgery, but it was subclinical and incidentally diagnosed at control ultrasonography. The remaining patients had no recurrences after a median 8-month (1-12) follow-up period. Conclusions: Koempel’s technique allows for a safe and reproducible approach of the suprahyoid segment. It is an attractive option in complicated cases as a result of previous infection or recurrence.(AU)

[Main Types of Cysts in Dermatopathology: Part 1]. / Principales tipos de quistes en dermatopatología: parte 1.

Cystic structures represent one of the most common findings in dermatopathology. These encompass both cystic tumors and pseudocysts resulting from the accumulation of certain substances, such as mucin. In a two-part series (of which this is the first part), we have reviewed the principal types of cysts and pseudocysts that may be observed in cutaneous biopsies, examining their histopathological features and primary differential diagnoses. This first part encompasses infundibular cysts, eruptive dermoid cysts, pigmented follicular cysts, pilonidal cysts, tricholemmal cysts, milium cysts, hybrid cysts, bronchogenic cysts, as well as steatocystoma, hydrocystoma, and comedones.

Quiste odontogénico calcificante. Análisis de características clínicas e imagenológicas en reportes de casos / Calcifying odontogenic cyst. Analysis of clinical and imaging characteristics in case reports

Introducción: El quiste odontogénico calcificante (QOC) es un quiste odontogénico raro de los maxilares, que en un gran número de casos se asociaa otras patologías. Debido a esto, la presentación clínica e imagenológica puede variar. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar las características clínicas e imagenológicas del QOC intraóseo, sin asociación a otras patologías, publicadas en reportes de casos.Material y métodos:Se realizó una búsqueda en PubMed, Scopus, Epistemonikos y Web of Science, de reportes de casos de QOC intraóseo, sin asociación a otras patologías, que tuvieran exámenes imagenológicos y diagnóstico histopatológico.Resultados:Se incluyeron 20 artículos, con 21 casos clínicos. El QOC sepresentó principalmente en la segunda década de vida, sexo masculino y zona posterior mandibular. El aumento de volumen estuvo presente en la mayoría de los casos. El dolor, alteraciones de mucosa y movilidad dentaria se observaron en un menor porcentaje. Radiográficamente se observó una lesión de densidad mixta, unilocular, de límites definidos y regulares, con expansión de corticales. La perforación, desplazamiento dentario y reabsorción radicular fueron poco comunes. El tamaño fue principalmente mayor a 3cm.Conclusiones:La información clínica e imagenológica fue escasa en todos los artículos incluidos. La mayoría de las características que no coinciden con lo reportado por la literatura podrían tener su explicación en el hecho de que los casos publicados suelen ser atípicos.En la presenterevisión se encontraron características del QOC diferentes a las reportadas, que son relevantes para el diagnóstico diferencial.(AU)

Introduction: Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare odontogenic cyst of the jaws, which in many cases is associated with other pathologies and can generate differences in terms of clinical and imaging presentation. The aim of this article was to determinate the clinical and imaging characteristics of intraosseous COC, without association to other pathologies, published in case reports.Material and methods:A search in PubMed, Scopus, Epistemonikos and Web of Science was performed, for case reports of intraosseous COC, without association to other pathologies, which had imaging examinations and histopathological diagnosis.Results:20 articles were included, with 21 clinical cases. COC was found to occur mainly in the second decade of life, male sex, and mandibular posterior area. Swelling was present in most cases. Pain, mucosal alterations, and dental mobility were observed in a lower percentage. Radiographically, a mixed density lesion, unilocular, with defined and regular limits, which generates cortical expansion was observed. Perforation, tooth displacement and root resorption were uncommon. The size was mainly larger than 3cm.Conclusion:Clinical and imaging information was found to be scarce in all articles included in this review. Most of the characteristics that did not coincide with what is reported by the literature could be explained by the fact that published cases are usually atypical. In this review, different COC characteristics than those previously reported were found, which are relevant for differential diagnosis.(AU)

Quiste óseo simple de resolución espontánea: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura / Simple bone cyst of spontaneous resolution: case report and literature review

Introducción: El quiste óseo simple (QOS) es un pseudoquiste intraóseo, de etiología desconocida que representa el 1% de los quistes maxilares. Radiográficamente se observa una imagen radiolúcida de bordes bien definidos, irregulares o festoneados. Su tratamiento consiste en la exploración quirúrgica y curetaje de paredes óseas. En pocas ocasiones se ha descrito resolución espontánea. El propósito de este documento es presentar un caso de QOS de resolución espontánea y realizar una revisión de literatura.Reporte de caso:Mujer de 12 años consulta para evaluación odontológica de rutina. En radiografía panorámica se observa lesión radiolúcida entre raíces de dientes 4.4 y 4.5, de límites bien definidos corticalizados. Se complementó con tomografía computarizada de haz cónico, donde se observó adelgazamiento de tablas óseas. Se realizó un diagnóstico presuntivo de QOS. Se controló a los 3 y 3,5 años observándose hueso de leve mayor densidad que el hueso circundante.Materiales y métodos:Se realizó una revisión de literatura sobre QOS de resolución espontánea en PubMed, Scopus y Web of Science, relacionando los términos libres “simple bone cyst” “spontaneous resolution” “jaws” y sus variantes.Resultados:Se encontraron 13 casos de QOS de resolución espontánea. Las características clínicas y radiográficas de los casos coinciden con la literatura. El 54% de los casos tuvo resolución espontánea en un periodo menor o igual a 5 años.Conclusión:En el presente caso se realizó el seguimiento radiográfico del paciente, demostrando que controlar en el tiempo puede considerarse como tratamiento, ya que la lesión podría resolverse espontáneamente.(AU)

Introduction: Simple bone cyst (SBC) is an intraosseous pseudocyst, of unknown etiology, which represents 1% of maxillary cysts. Radiographically, a radiolucent image with well-defined, irregular or scalloped edges is observed. Treatment consists of surgical exploration and curettage of bone walls. Spontaneous resolution has rarely been described. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of spontaneous resolution of SBC and perform a literature review.Case Report:A 12-year-old woman attends to a routine dental evaluation. Panoramic radiography shows a radiolucent image between roots of teeth 4.4 and 4.5, of well-defined corticated borders. It was complemented with cone-beam computed tomography examination, where thinning of cortical bone was observed. A presumptive diagnosis of SBC was performed. Controls at 3 and 3,5 years were performed and bone of slightly higher density than the surrounding bone was observed.Materials and methods:A literature review on SBC of spontaneous resolution was performed in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, relating the free terms “simple bone cyst” “spontaneous resolution” “jaws” and their variants.Results:13 cases of spontaneous resolution of SBC were found. The clinical and radiographic characteristics of the cases coincide with the literature. 54% of cases had spontaneous resolution in a period of 5 years or less.Conclusion:In the case presented, radiographic follow-up of the patient was performed, demonstrating that following-up can be considered as treatment, since the lesion could resolve spontaneously.(AU)

Epidemiología, clínica e imagenología del quiste odontogénico glandular: revisión narrativa / Epidemiology, clinical and imaging of glandular odontogenic cyst: narrative review

Introducción: El quiste odontogénico glandular (QOG) tiene una diversidad de características epidemiológicas, clínicas e imagenológicas. El propósito de la presente revisión fue analizarla epidemiología, clínica, imagenología junto con la agresividad, tratamiento, seguimiento y recidiva de QOG en la literatura actual. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de casos clínicos de QOG publicados entre 2012-2022 en PubMed, Web of Science y Science Direct que tuvieran información epidemiológica, clínica e imagenológica junto a su confirmación histopatológica a través de descripción e imágenes. Resultados: Se incluyeron 27 artículos con 30QOG. Los QOG se presentaron entre los 7 y 78 años. Su tiempo de evolución promedio fue de un año. Se observaron mayoritariamente en región posterior de mandíbula y sin sintomatología. Mayoritariamente fueron radiolúcidos, uniloculares, con bordes definidos y corticalizados y presentaron expansión ósea. Presentaron características agresivas como gran tamaño, perforación ósea y los dientes involucrados tendieron a tenerespacio periodontal infiltrado, desplazamiento y rizálisis. La mayoría de los QOG se trataron con enucleación y no recidivaron. Conclusiones: Se observaron QOG con características que difieren de la literatura clásica en edad, tiempo de evolución, sintomatología, patrón imagenológico, presentación bilateral y ubicación. La imagenología del QOG tiene un comportamiento por lo general, agresivo. En tanto, su agresividad estuvo asociada con su mayor tamaño, borramiento y/o infiltración cortical, perforación ósea, espacio periodontal infiltrado, rizalisis externa y al compromiso de estructuras anatómicas adyacentes.

Introduction: Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) has a diversity of epidemiological, clinical and imaging characteristics. The purpose of this review was to analyze the epidemiology, clinic, and imaging, along with aggressiveness, treatment, follow-up, and recurrence of GOC in the current literature. Materials and methods: A systematic search for clinical cases of GOC published between 2012-2022 was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science and Science Direct. Epidemiological, clinical and imaging information, along with their histopathological confirmation through description and images had to be present in the articles. Results: 27 articles with 30 GOC were included. GOC was found to be present between 7 and 78 years. Its average evolution time was one year. They were observed mostly in the posterior mandible and were asymptomatic. They were mostly radiolucent, unilocular, with defined and corticated borders and presented bone expansion. They presented aggressive characteristics such as larger size, bone perforation and the teeth involved tended to have infiltrated periodontal space, displacement and root resorption. GOC were mostly treated with enucleation and did not present recurrence. Conclusions: GOC was observed with atypical characteristics, which differ from classical literature in terms of age, time of evolution, symptomatology, imaging pattern, bilateral presentation and location. Imaging of QOG generally has an aggressive behavior. Its aggressiveness was associated with its larger size, cortical effacement and/or infiltration, bone perforation, infiltrated periodontal space, root resorption, and involvement of adjacent anatomical structures. Considering the characteristics mentioned above, decompression and excision treatments, together with follow-up of less than 5 years, could lead to recurrence. (AU)
