[Scanning electron microscopic observation on odontogenic keratocysts].
Five odontogenic keratocysts were examined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) on the three-dimensional ultrastructure of epithelial lining cells. The fractured surface of the specimens showed a single row of columnar or cuboidal cells perpendicular to the flat basal lamina, a four- to five-cell layer of spinous cells, and a superficial layer of flattened parakeratinized cells. At high magnification of superficial cell surface, microvillis, short discontinuous branched or anastomosing microridges were observed.
