Abstract: (19 Views) |
Background: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is the third most common type of cyst in the jaws after radicular and dentigerous cysts.
Case Report: A 26-year-old female presented to the oral and maxillofacial radiology center for follow-up of OKC on her left mandible in April 2023, without any clinical symptoms. The radiographic view reveals expansion inferiorly to the border of the mandible, and septa were detectable in the lesion, which made recurrence a possibility.
Conclusion: Odontogenic keratocyst was confirmed by biopsy due to para-keratinized, stratified, and corrugated squamous epithelium and cheesy-like white keratin debris.
