Abstract

OKC or odontogenic keratocyst is a common entity comprising the majority of cysts being reported. These lesions constitute a large group showing varying presentations from small lesions identified accidentally to highly destructive and aggressive lesions transforming into malignancy. It is a rare odontogenic cyst being an area of interest owing to its unique nature. OKC on radiograph can also resemble lateral periodontal cyst. As OKC resembles many other cysts, it is vital to do a histologic examination of all the cysts removed surgically. The majority of the OKCs are seen as a single lesion, however, in a few cases, 2 OKCs are seen, and in others, it can resemble BCNS.
