A CASE REPORT OF ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYST IN ANTERIOR MANDIBLE (original) (raw)

Odontogenic Keratocyst in Posterior Mandible: A Case Report

Odontogenic keratocyst, 2021

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a common developmental odontogenic cyst affecting the maxillofacial region that arises from the dental lamina. The OKC is distinctive among jaw cysts and has tendency toward recurrence along with aggressive clinical behavior. The recurrent rate of OKC is 25-30%. The following is an article of a case report of a 26-year-old male who presented with OKC involving right mandibular molar tooth region.

ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYST INVOLVING MANDIBLE-A CASE REPORT.

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a distinctive form of developmental odontogenic cyst.It has specific histopathologic features and aggressive clinical behavior including a high recurrence rate.OKC was first described by Phillipsen in 1956.OKC tends to grow in an antero-posterior direction within the medullary cavity of the bone without causing obvious bone expansion.This report describes a case on odontogenic keratocyst involving mandible occurring in a 25 years old patient.

Large Odontogenic Keratocyst of Mandible - A Case Report

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a cyst of tooth origin with an aggressive clinical behavior including a high recurrence rate. OKC was first described by Phillipsen in 1956. It is one of the most aggressive odontogenic cysts of the oral cavity. OKC is known for its tendency to invade the adjacent tissues including bone. It shows rapid growth and may grow to large size involving greater portion of bony jaw. This article reports a case of large OKC of posterior mandible.

Odontogenic Keratocyst: An Unusual Clinical Presentation

International Journal of Clinical Case Reports, 2015

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental cyst of the jaws of epithelial origin. This lesion is commonly found in the ascending ramus and posterior mandible, and can become quite large due to its rapid growth and its extension into the adjacent structures. Herein, we are reporting a case of odontogenic keratocyst involving the anterior mandible which was mimicking other cysts and tumors which occur in that region more frequently. On closer view into the case, the lesion was proved to be an OKC. The lesion was successfully treated by complete enucleation. Because of the uniqueness of this case, the clinical, radiological, and histological features of this cyst/tumor are discussed in this article.

Maxillary Odontogenic Keratocyst

Journal of surgical case reports, 2022

The Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is one of the most aggressive odontogenic cysts. OKCs of the maxilla are particularly rare with less than 1% of cases reported in the literature. A 29-year-old female patient presented with pain and loose upper molars. Imaging confirmed an ectopic tooth at the osteomeatal complex and a maxillary OKC. These were endoscopically surgically removed and two teeth were encountered at the maxillary antrum. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of OKC of the maxilla. Surveillance with CT imaging and clinical assessment at 6 months shows no evidence of recurrence.

Odontogenic Keratocyst: A Rare Presentation in Anterior Maxilla

Journal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, 2020

The odontogenic keratocyst is an enigmatic developmental cyst that deserves special attention. It has characteristic histopathological and clinical features; but, what makes this cyst special is its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate. Odontogenic keratocyst is a benign odontogenic cyst, commonly affecting the mandible. These lesions have posed a great difficulty for the surgeons and pathologists. Few cases affecting the maxilla are also reported. Literature search suggests that odontogenic keratocysts may affect maxillary posterior and canine region. The present case reports a lesion of odontogenic keratocyst occuring in the maxillary incisor region, crossing midline which was initially misdiagnosed as infected residual cyst. After careful evaluation, it was reported as an odontogenic keratocyst.

Bilateral odontogenic keratocyst of the mandible

Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2014

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a cyst of dental origin with an aggressive clinical behavior, having high recurrence rate. Multiple cysts are associated with bifid-rib basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin syndrome). We present a case of bilateral odontogenic keratocyst in a cleft lip patient.

Odontogenic Keratocyst Mandible An Interesting Case report and Literature review

Ent scholar, 2014

The term odontogenic keratocyst was first described by Philipsen in 1956. This cyst actually arises from the cell rests of dental lamina. It can occur anywhere in the jaw but is commonly seen in the posterior part of the mandible. Since the clinical features and radiological appearance are not characteristic this condition is commonly misdiagnosed. This is more so when the lesion is related to the nonvital tooth. Odontogenic keratocyst has been rechristened as keratocystic odontogenic tumor by WHO working group in 2005. This was necessitated to differentiate this lesion from its orthokeratinizing variant which is currently considered as odontogenic cyst. This case report discusses odontogenic keratocyst of mandible.

Ortho keratinized Odontogenic Cyst of Mandible: A Rare Case Report

Shahid Beheshti University Dental Journal, 2015

Objective: The Ortho keratinized Odontogenic Cyst (OOC) is a rare lesion originates from dental lamina and clinically, it may be mistaken for many other odontogenic cysts and Tumors. Microscopically, It should be distinguished from KCOT because of differences in biologic behavior and histologic features. Case: An interesting case of OOC arising in the edentulous mandibular right first premolar region of a 55-year-old woman is reported. Under the initial clinical diagnosis of a residual cyst, the excisional biopsy was performed. Because of detection of an orthokeratinized epithelium lining, a definite diagnosis of OOC was made. Conclusion: Microscopic examination is crucial for making the correct diagnosis of such lesions, therefore establishing patients' prognosis accurately.

Odontogenic keratocyst- Mimicking residual cyst in maxilla

Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology

OKC was classified as cystic lesion by WHO in 1971 & 1991, based on aggressive nature, growth pattern, clinical, histological and immunohistochemical nature in 2005 they again classified it as benign lesion, however in 2017 WHO head and neck pathology reclassified it as cystic lesion. It more commonly occurs in posterior mandible and rarely occurs in maxilla, in this case occurrence of OKC in maxillary posterior region is very rare with distinctive expansion and lifting of maxillary sinus floor without perforating in edentulous area makes it more difficult to detect and justify from residual cyst. Here a 65 years old patient came with chief complaint of pus discharge from upper left posterior region since 7 months, having a small opening in edentulous ridge, which provisional diagnosis was given as residual cyst later after excision of lesion and histopathological analysis it was given as OKC.
