Abstract
Background: Calcifying odontogenic cysts (COCs) are considered rare odontogenic lesions
with a spectrum of behavioral and clinicopathological features. The rare Ghost cell odontogenic
carcinoma (GCOC) is the malignant counterpart of (COC). The goal of this work was to study the
expression NF-κB in COCs and GCOCs.
Methods: NF-κB expression was evaluated in 8 (COCs) and 4 (GCOCs), using
immunohistochemical method. Immunostaining was evaluated semi-quantitatively, following to
the intensity and extent of staining.
Results: B oth cytoplasmic and nuclear and NF-κB immunopositivity were detected in all COC
tissues, as well as in GCOC.
Conclusion: The expression of NF-κB may represent an important mechanism of tumor
development and thus might have a role in the progression of ghost cell lesions.
