## Abstract ## Backgroud: Desmoid tumors are rare benign tumors but have a tendency toward local recurrence after resection because of their infiltrative growth and frequent entrapment of vital structures in the head and neck region. We report 24 desmoid tumors of the head and neck and propose a r

Abstract
The jaws are unique bones of the skeleton because of their intimate involvement with tooth and facial development. Abnormal sequelae of these developmental processes may give rise to cystic lesions later in life. This paper reviews the pathogenesis, clinical features, and behavior of these odontogenic and nonodontogenic cysts. Justification is found for the exclusion of the globulomaxillary, midmandibular, and midpalatine cysts from a current classification. Emphasis is placed on the importance and controversy surrounding the odontogenic keratocyst.

## Abstract Highβresolution computed tomographic (CT) scanning and, more recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have provided more accurate evaluation of the extent of head and neck neoplasms. With increasing experience, better methodology is being developed to improve imaging accuracy. We pres
The ultrasonographic features of 6 histologically proven dermoid and epi- dermoid cysts in the head and neck are reported. All 6 cysts had internal echoes, with a solid appearance. Five of the 6 were echogenic, with only slight or no posterior echo enhancement. Amorphous keratinous debris from kerat
