Microscopic examination

Relative incidence of odontogenic cysts.[1]

By epidemiology, look for signs of being either a periapical cyst (also called radicular cyst), a dentigerous cyst or a residual cyst:

Cyst type Lining epithelium Other characteristics Image
Periapical (radicular) cyst Stratified squamous epithelium of variable thickness, except when originating in a maxillary sinus where there is respiratory epithelium (pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium).[2]
  • A fibrous capsule of varying thickness, with chronic inflammatory cells, wherein a plasma cells may be abundant.[2]

They sometimes have the following features:[2]

  • Cholesterol clefts in the cyst lining.

Histopathology of a periapical cyst, with metaplastic changes of mucous secreting cells (B), and ciliated cells (C).[3]
Non-inflamed dentigerous cyst
  • 2 - 4 layers of cuboidal epithelium, devoid of superficial keratinization.[4]
  • Sometimes partially a thin, fragmented layer of eosinophilic columnar cells or low cuboidal epithelium[4]
Typically:[4]
  • Fibrous to fibromyxoid connective tissue
  • No rete ridges, flat interface

They occasionally have:

  • Dystrophic calcifications
Inflamed dentigerous cyst Hyperplastic non-keratinized epithelium[4]
  • Fibrous connective tissue
  • Chronic inflammatory cells

Sometimes:[4]

  • Elongated interconnecting rete ridges
  • Cholesterol clefts, possibly cholesterol granuloma

They occasionally have:[4]

  • Dystrophic calcifications
Residual cyst Stratified squamous epithelium:[5]
  • May demonstrate exocytosis, spongiosis, and/or hyperplasia
  • May be discontinuous in part and range in thickness from 1 to 50 cell layers, but usually 6 - 20 cell layers

In early cysts, the epithelial lining tend to be proliferative and arcading, with an intense inflammation.
Established cysts tend to rather have fairly regular lining with a higher degree of differentiation, resembling a simple stratified squamous epithelium

Cyst lumen may demonstrate fluid and cellular debris.[5]

All types above can occasionally have scattered mucous or ciliated cells, as well as Rushton bodies, which are amorphic, eosinophilic, linear to crescent-shaped bodies in the cyst epithelium.[3][2][4][5]
