Odontogenic Keratocyst in Posterior Mandible: A Case Report (original) (raw)

A CASE REPORT OF ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYST IN ANTERIOR MANDIBLE

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 given its tendency toward recurrence and aggressive clinical behavior. This article presents a case of OKC in the anterior.

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.

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: 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.

Odontogenic keratocyst: What is in the name?

Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine, 2013

The classification of odontogenic cysts is complicated and can create confusion for both clinicians and pathologists. The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) 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. Despite of many classifications and nomenclature, unfortunately the clinicians still have to face difficulties in the management of this commonly found jaw lesion. This article is an effort to provide an overview of various aspects of OKC with emphasis on nomenclature, recurrence, molecular aspects, and management of OKC.

Odontogenic keratocyst: imaging features of a benign lesion with an aggressive behaviour

Insights into imaging, 2018

The latest (4th) edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours, published in January 2017, has reclassified keratocystic odontogenic tumour as odontogenic keratocyst. Therefore, odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are now considered benign cysts of odontogenic origin that account for about 10% of all odontogenic cysts. OKCs arise from the dental lamina and are characterised by a cystic space containing desquamated keratin with a uniform lining of parakeratinised squamous epithelium. The reported age distribution of OKCs is considerably wide, with a peak of incidence in the third decade of life and a slight male predominance. OKCs originate in tooth-bearing regions and the mandible is more often affected than the maxilla. In the mandible, the most common location is the posterior sextant, the angle or the ramus. Conversely, the anterior sextant and the third molar region are the most common sites of origin in the maxilla. OKCs are characterised by ...

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- a Review on Various Treatment Modalities

International Journal of Biology, Pharmacy and Allied Sciences, 2020

However In 2017, the new WHO classification of Head and Neck pathology reclassified OKC into cyst category. Epidemiologically OKC accounts for approx. 7.8 % of all cyst of the jaw and incidence vary from 4-16.5%. It occurs at all ages with peak incidence in 2nd and 4th decade of life. it predominantly occurs in white population with male :female ratio of 1.6:1. Location wise it is most commonly seen twice in mandible as compared to maxilla. In mandible it occurs usually in angle-ascending ramus region (69-83%). Mandibular cyst crosess the mid line and maxillary cyst may involve sinus and nasal floor, premaxilla and maxillary third molar region. OKC may arise from temporomandibular joint also.

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.
