This article compares the demographic features of the anterior midline maxillary odontogenic keratocyst with those in other regions.
The data on 18 cases of anterior midline maxillary odontogenic keratocyst were reviewed.
Thirteen of the cases were in men (72.2%), and 16 of the patients (88.9%) were past the age of 60 years. The mean age of the patients was 69.9 years, which is much higher than for odontogenic keratocysts in other locations. The most common clinical diagnoses were periapical cyst and nasopalatine duct cyst.
It is important to include odontogenic keratocyst in the differential diagnosis of anterior midline maxillary radiolucencies, especially when they occur in older individuals.
本文比较上颌前部中线牙源性角化囊肿与其他区域牙源性角化囊肿的人口统计学特征。
回顾了18例上颌前部中线牙源性角化囊肿的数据。
13例患者为男性（72.2%），16例患者（88.9%）年龄超过60岁。患者的平均年龄为69.9岁，远高于其他部位的牙源性角化囊肿。最常见的临床诊断为根尖囊肿和鼻腭管囊肿。
在鉴别诊断上颌前部中线透光影时，尤其是在老年患者中出现时，将牙源性角化囊肿纳入鉴别诊断很重要。
