A Case Report of Swelling of the Left Side of the Face Invading Masseter - An Enigma

چکیده
Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor has been defined by the World Health Organization as a benign intraosseous neoplasm of odontogenic origin with characteristic lining of the parakeratinized squamous epithelium. Due to variable features of this lesion pertaining to clinical and biologic behaviour, this tumor is been studied extensively even today with respect to its molecular aspects to resolve many enigmatic features of it to arrive at a more successful treatment aspects at the genetic level. This paper aims to present a case of nonsyndromic keratocystic odontogenic tumor in a 50 year old male that involved the entire ascending ramus of the mandible not associated with the impacted tooth invading to the masseter muscle by destroying the bony cortices of the left mandible. The presentation of this case resembles a neoplastic variant with aggressive features causing difficulty in complete excision of the lesion due to ill-defined margins with soft tissue extension.
