Abstract

Cyst with relatively high recurrence and having nature to invade the underlying tissue is "odontogenic keratocyst (OKC)."Radiographically, OKC can appear as different varieties, such as follicular, replacemental, extraneous, envelopmental, and collateral.Each radiographic variety of OKC varies in biological behavior, prognosis, recurrence, and therapeutic approaches.Many studies done till date have not established any relationship between markers of proliferation and aggressiveness in regard to radiographic varieties of OKC.The present article reports a case of follicular OKC in an 8-year-old boy which was concluded as a dentigerous cyst by radiographic features.
