Five years follow-up of a keratocyst odontogenic tumor treated by marsupialization and enucleation: a case report and literature review

Odontogenic cysts are considered as nonneoplasic benign lesions. Among the cysts, keratocyst odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is an intra‑osseous tumor characterized by parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium and a potential for aggressive, infiltrative behavior, and for the possibility to develop carcinomas in the lesion wall. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe a clinical case of KCOT in a young patient and discuss the treatment alternatives to solve this case. A 15‑year‑old male was referred for treatment of a giant lesion in his left side of the mandible. After the biopsy, a diagnostic of KCOT was made, and the following procedures were planned for KCOT treatment. Marsupialization was performed for lesion decompression and consequent lesion size reduction. Afterward, enucleation for complete KCOT removal was performed followed by third mandibular molar extraction. After 5 years, no signs of recurrence were observed. The treatment proposed was efficient in removing the KCOT with minimal surgical morbidity and optimal healing process, and the first and second mandibular molars were preserved with pulp vitality. In conclusion, this treatment protocol was an effective and conservative approach for the management of the KCOT, enabling the reduction of the initial lesion, the preservation of anatomical structures and teeth, allowing quicker return to function. No signs of recurrence after 5 years were observed.

Tratamento cirúrgico de tumor odontogênico queratocístico: relato de caso

Introduction: The Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) is a benign odontogenic tumor with an infiltrative and potentially aggressive behavior with high recurrence rates. The KCOT occurs more often in men than women, with a frequency of 2:1, being more frequent in the mandible with a predilection for the body and branch. Treatment of KCOT remains controversial. Treatment usually includes enucleation, marsupialization, peripheral ostectomy, curettage associated with Carnoy solution and resection. Objective: To report a case of a KCOT located in the mandible. Case report: male patient, 15 years, with a KCOT on the right side of the mandible treated by enucleation and peripheral ostectomy, with four years of preservation, with no signs of recurrence. Final Comments: The treatment by enucleation associated with peripheral ostectomy reduces the relapse rate, preserves anatomical structures and can avoid a second surgical procedure for reconstruction of bone defects generated in surgery en bloc resection.

The long-term outcome after acute kidney injury: a narrative review

This review will focus on long-term outcomes after acute kidney injury (AKI). Surviving AKI patients have a higher late mortality compared with those admitted without AKI. Recent studies have claimed that long-term mortality in patients after AKI varied from 15% to 74% and older age, presence of previous co-morbidities, and the incomplete recovery of renal function have been identified as risk factors for reduced survival. AKI is also associated with progression to chronic kidney (CKD) disease and the decline of renal function at hospital discharge and the number and severity of AKI episodes have been associated with progression to CKD. IN the most studies, recovery of renal function is defined as non-dependence on renal replacement therapy which is probably too simplistic and it is expected in 60-70% of survivors by 90 days. Further studies are needed to explore the long-term prognosis of AKI patients.
