An odontogenic keratocyst is a rare and benign but locally aggressive developmental cyst. It most often affects the posterior mandible and most commonly presents in the third decade of life. [ 1 ] Odontogenic keratocysts make up around 19% of jaw cysts. [ 2 ] Despite its more common appearance in the bone region, it can affect soft tissue.
A unicameral bone cyst, also known as a simple bone cyst, is a cavity filled with a yellow-colored fluid. [1][3] It is considered to be benign since it does not spread beyond the bone. [4] Unicameral bone cysts can be classified into two categories: active and latent. [4] An active cyst is adjacent to the epiphyseal plate and tends to grow ...

Cysts of the jaws are cysts —pathological epithelial -lined cavities filled with fluid or soft material—occurring on the bones of the jaws, the mandible and maxilla. Those are the bones with the highest prevalence of cysts in the human body, due to the abundant amount of epithelial remnants that can be left in the bones of the jaws.
86.7. [edit on Wikidata] Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where tissue with an intact blood supply is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site. Flaps are distinct from grafts, which do not have an intact blood supply and relies on the growth of new blood vessels.
