The aim of the present study is to report the demographic and clinical characteristics of all jaw cysts diagnosed in a single Oral Pathology Department. 5294 cases of jaw cysts diagnosed during a 38-year period were retrospectively collected and classified according to the latest classification of Head and Neck Tumors of the World Health Organization. The patients' gender and age, as well as the main clinical features of the cysts were retrieved from biopsy report forms. Jaw cysts were more common in male patients, with a male to female ratio of 1.6:1. Most patients were in the 4th-6th decade of life, with a mean age of 42.3 ± 16.1 years. There was no jaw predilection and the majority of lesions were more commonly encountered in the anterior region of the maxilla, followed by the molar region of the mandible. The most common jaw cyst was radicular cyst followed by dentigerous cyst, residual cyst and odontogenic keratocyst. The majority of jaw cysts are of inflammatory origin and represent a sequale of pulp necrosis. However, other type of jaw cysts may also be found.
本研究的目的是报告在单一口腔病理科诊断出的所有颌骨囊肿的人口统计学和临床特征。回顾性收集了38年间诊断出的5294例颌骨囊肿病例，并根据世界卫生组织头颈部肿瘤的最新分类进行分类。从活检报告表格中获取患者的性别和年龄，以及囊肿的主要临床特征。颌骨囊肿在男性患者中更为常见，男女比例为1.6:1。大多数患者处于40至60岁之间，平均年龄为42.3±16.1岁。没有颌骨偏好，大多数病变更常见于上颌前部区域，其次是下颌磨牙区。最常见的颌骨囊肿是根尖囊肿，其次是含牙囊肿、残余囊肿和牙源性角化囊肿。大多数颌骨囊肿起源于炎症，是牙髓坏死的后遗症。然而，也可能发现其他类型的颌骨囊肿。
