In 2005, odontogenic cyst was classified as keratocyst odontogenic tumor due to being aggressive and recurrent. The keratocyst odontogenic tumor has characteristics, with slow development, does not cause metastases and provides great bone destruction. The aim of this study was to discuss the aspects regarding the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of odontogenic keratocyst tumor, through the re...

The Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC), first described by Phillipsen in 1956, has been reclassified as odontogenic neoplasm and has been renamed as Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) as reported in WHO classification of head and neck tumors in 2005. Odontogenic keratocysts are benign intraosseous tumors of odontogenic origin that occur most commonly in the jaw. In particular, they have a predilec...

Objective: To evaluate the treatment outcome of enucleation and peripheral ostectomy with use Carnoy’ssolution for management Odontogenic keratocyst. Material Methods: 17 patients OKC who reportedfrom 2011 to 2015 were included. All cases treated by 0.5mmfollowed Carnoy’s solution cauterization 4 minutes. followed up 4-5 years. Results:All followed-up using serial panoramic radiography clinical...

Abstract: The odontogenic keratocyst be a developmental cyst that's important due to its specific clinical behavior and histopathology. They arise from remnants of the epithelial structures that are related event teeth occur predominantly intraosseous. However, they occasionally can appear extraosseous in gingiva as peripheral counterparts. is most common location keratocyst, but other sites li...

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is one of the most aggressive odontogenic cysts owing to its relatively high recurrence rate and its tendency to invade adjacent tissue. Radiographically odontogenic keratocyst can be of different types – follicular, envelopmental, replacemental, extraneous and collateral.The biological behaviour, prognosis, recurrence and therapeutic approaches vary in different st...

An expansile lesion in the body of the left mandible had high attenuation (225 HU) on nonenhanced CT scans. Histologic examination revealed an odontogenic keratocyst with no evidence of mineralization or calcification within the lesion. The high attenuation was considered to be due to highly concentrated protein of thick, viscous keratin in the lumen of the keratocyst.

An odontogenic keratocyst that eroded into the sinus through the maxillary bone and occupied it, showed replacement of the sinus respiratory epithelium by lesional epithelium, and was associated with fungal rhinosinusitis is presented. A review of the literature disclosed that epithelial replacement has been described in 2 previous case reports, although there is no report on the coexistence of...

Odontogenic keratocyst has been renamed as by world health organization in 2005. It is a benign intraooseous neoplasm of the jaw. They develop from the dental lamina remenants in the mandible and maxilla.Odontogenic keratocyst is of particular interest because of its recurrence rate and aggressive behavior. We present a case in a middle aged lady patient.

Maxillary sinus harbours many pathological lesions. Many of those presents as a sinonasal mass and are rarely symptomatic. These masses are usually an antral polyp, mucoceles or mucous retention cysts. Odontogenic keratocyst, a benign odontogenic lesion presenting within the maxillary sinus is a rare entity. We present a case of odontogenic keratocyst of the maxillary sinus in a 35 years old fe...

Keratocyst odontogenic tumor is a benign cyst usually affecting the posterior segments of the mandible in the second and third decades of life. This lesion is detected by a multi locular radiolucency in radiographs. This cyst is rare in anterior segments of the mandible and older ages. The aim of this case report is to report a 63-year-old male affected by keratocyst odontogenic in the anterior...
