OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of 71 intraosseous @entity1567 . STUDY DESIGN: Data with respect to the @entity1 ' ages, sex, @entity5 locations, and surgical treatment history, as well as the radiographic findings and number of recurrences, were analyzed. The histologic types of and radiologic findings regarding @entity5 with higher recurrence rates were also investigated. RESULTS: The @entity1 ' ages at biopsy ranged from 11 to 70 years (mean, 30.4 years). Thirty-nine (54.9%) of the 71 subjects were males, and 32 (45.1%) were females. Sixty-two (87.3%) of the 71 @entity1567 were located in the mandible. Swelling was the most common symptom and was experienced by 27 (38.0%) @entity1 . Radiographically, 42 (59.2%) of the 71 @entity5 were unilocular with a well-demarcated border. Of the remaining 29 cases, 14 were multilocular, 2 were of soap-bubble shape, and 13 were unknown in appearance. The most common histologic pattern was plexiform, rather than follicular or acanthomatous. Sixteen cases of @entity1567 had developed in a cyst. The overall recurrence rate was 21.1%, and the average age of the @entity1 at recurrence was 26.4 years. CONCLUSIONS: When the diagnosis of @entity1567 in young @entity1 remains in doubt after clinical and radiologic examination, a biopsy is necessary. Long-term follow-up at regular intervals after surgery is also recommended.
