Abstract
Gingival cysts with clinical manifestations are relatively uncommon lesions. The present
study adds thirty-three new cases to the literature and analyzes their clinical and
histologic features. The mandibular cuspid and first premolar region was found to
be the most common location. The epithelial lining of the cysts was of several types.
The most common type was a thin, flattened lining with or without localized thickenings
(buds). Other types included nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, keratinized
stratified squamous epithelium, and parakeratinized epithelium with palisading basal
cells. Gingival cysts should be distinguished from lateral periodontal cysts on the
basis of their origin in the gingiva rather than in bone. It appears that most gingival
cysts with clinical manifestations are of odontogenic origin.
