Description
Summary:	Two cases of squamous-cell carcinoma arising in dental cysts are presented. A review of the literature reveals that this is a rare condition and experience of treatment by radiotherapy is limited. The cases reported were controlled locally by external beam megavoltage radiotherapy with no significant long-term morbidity. It is suggested that such treatment is an acceptable alternative to wide surgical resection.
