Introduction:the keratocyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst with a tendency to recur, characterized by a histological appearance of parakeratinized lining epithelium with basal cells similar to ameloblasts in palisade. Treatment largely depends on the extent of thecyst and the degree of multilocularity. Objective:to describe a surgical treatment prescribed to a 55-year-old male patient, who presents a cystic lesion in the posterior third of the mandible who attends the comprehensive adult clinic of the UNERG dentistry area, during the period from January to July. of the year 2022.

Descriptive analysis techniques were used, where the process was studied, the patient's history, the positive evolution after performing the surgical enucleation of the cystic lesion; A sample was taken for an excisional biopsy establishing a presumptive diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst and a differential diagnosis of a unicystic ameloblastoma.
