Journal ArticleDOI
PTCH Gene Mutations in Odontogenic Keratocysts
TL;DR: This report is the first to describe a somatic mutation of PTCH in sporadic odontogenic keratocysts as well as two novel mutations in cysts associated with NBCCS, indicating a similar pathogenesis in a subset of sporadic keratocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell proliferation markers in the odontogenic keratocyst: effect of inflammation.
Alfredo Maurício Batista de Paula,Junia Noronha Carvalhais,M G Domingues,D.C. Barreto,Ricardo Alves Mesquita +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the existence of greater proliferative activity in the epithelial cells of inflamed odontogenic keratocysts, which may be associated with the disruption of the typical structure of odontogenically-inflamed Keratocyst linings.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-catenin mutations in craniopharyngiomas and pituitary adenomas
Eftychia Oikonomou,D.C. Barreto,Beatriz Santana Soares,Luiz De Marco,Michael Buchfelder,Eric F. Adams +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that β-catenin mutations may contribute to the initiation and subsequent growth of congenital craniopharyngiomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunolocalization of PTCH Protein in Odontogenic Cysts and Tumors
TL;DR: It is suggested that odontogenic keratocysts arise with heterozygous mutations of the PTCH gene, similar to that in basal cell carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cysticercosis of the oral cavity: report of seven cases.
Pea de Souza,D.C. Barreto,LM da Silva Fonseca,AM Batista de Paula,Edgard Carvalho Silva,Ricardo Santiago Gomez +5 more
TL;DR: The natural history of the disease is reviewed and seven cases of oral cysticercosis are reported on, which are among the rarest cases in the world.
