ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the frequency of calcifying odontogenic cysts (COCs) that have been submitted for microscopic examination from representative geographic regions of Brazil and to compare it with literature data. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A retrospective study was conducted on biopsies obtained from 1953 to 2016 at 10 Brazilian oral and maxillofacial pathology centres. A total of 198,350 biopsy specimens were analysed. Demographic data and histopathological diagnosis were evaluated descriptively and statistically. In addition, a literature review of case series was carried out in four electronic databases.RESULTS:
A total of 268 cases of COC were surveyed, representing 0.1% of the oral lesions at the centres studied. Female patients in their second decade of life and the maxilla were more affected. The mean lesion size of symptomatic individuals was larger than that of cases without symptoms (p = 0.026). The literature review showed a higher frequency in Asia and Europe, mainly affecting men in the third decade of life.CONCLUSIONS:
COC is a rare lesion. Novel data on the clinicopathological features of 268 cases have been added to the literature. Data regarding gender and age of the Brazilian patients reported herein contrast with findings of case series and retrospective studies reported elsewhere.Palavras-chave
