Keratocystic tumor in mandibular body region
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Odontogenic keratocyst(OKC) are developmental, non-inflammatory, chronic odontogenic cysts of epithelial origin derived from remnants of the dental lamina with a biologic behavior similar to that of benign neoplasm. The diagnostic approach is based on a combined analysis of the medical history, the clinical features, and the radiographic appearance. The diagnosis may be confirmed by the histopathology report. Finally, treatment consist of surgical excision and follow-up is characterized by a high rate of recurrence. The authors report a case of Keratocystic odontogenic tumor in a 27-year-old male patient in the left mandibular body region, and review the various diagnoses, therapeutics and follow up aspects of this aggressive tumor.
