Transformation of Odontogenic Cysts to Neoplasms - A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Odontogenic cysts have the potential to transform into neoplasms. However, the characteristics of those which transformed to neoplastic tissues have not been well described and the exact causes of that phenomenon are not yet clear.

Objectives

This study aims to describe characteristics of odontogenic cysts that transformed into neoplasms and to look for their potential etiologies.

Data sources

English-written studies indexed in PubMed, Science Direct, and Proquest were assessed using keywords verified by Medical Subject Headings: 'Odontogenic Cyst' and 'Neoplastic Cell Transformation'.

Study eligibility criteria

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were used as guidance.
