Abstract
Melanocytes in odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) were studied histopathologically. As a result, melanocytes were observed within the basal layer of lining epithelium in five of 47 cases with OKC, with the overall prevalence being 10.6 per cent. Although no conclusion could be drawn from the present examination as to the origin of melanocytes in OKC, its possible histogenesis was discussed.Mesh:
