FEATURES OF COMPUTER SPATIAL VISUALIZATION AND HISTOTOPOGRAPHY OF ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYSTS OF THE JAWS WITH THEIR DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS by D.S. Avetikov, V.M. Havryliev, D.V. Steblovkyi, O.A. Toropov, P.I. Yatsenko, K.P. Lokes

“…In the published materials, there are isolated data on histological studies on visualization of odontogenic keratocysts without signs of mineralization or calcification inside the lesion, which complicates differential diagnosis with other neoplasms of the jaw bone tissue. Most authors believe that this phenomenon is associated with a high concentration of viscous dense keratin protein in the lumen of the cyst. …”
