title: Comparision of Immunohistochemical Expression of CD10 in Odontogenic Cysts.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Expression of CD10 has been documented in various tumors like nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, odontogenic tumors.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate and compare CD10 expression in odontogenic cysts like radicular cyst, dentigerous cyst and odontogenic keratocyst (OKC).
  
  
  METHODS
  Total 60 cases were included in the study, comprising 20 cases each of radicular, dentigerous and odontogenic keratocyst. Each case was evaluated and compared for immunohistochemical expression of CD10. RESULTS obtained were statistically analysed using ANOVA test followed by post hoc test Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparisons Test for continuous variable and Chi-square test for discrete variable.
  
  
  RESULTS
  More number of cases showing sub-epithelial stromal CD10 expression were found in OKC among the cysts.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CD10 expression was more in OKC compared to radicular and dentigerous cysts.
