Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

Among the developmental cysts affecting the maxillofacial region, Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is the most common one. Recently OKC is reclassified as Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT)Usually multiple OKCs are seen in association with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS) in 95% of cases but this case report highlights a non-syndromic case of multiple OKCs affecting both maxilla and mandible. Keywords: multiple radiolucencies, marsupialization, keratocystic odontogenic tumor
