Non-Syndromic Multiple Odontogenic Keratocysts: A Case Report and Comparison with Syndromic Multiple Odontogenic Keratocysts

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is a relatively common developmental odontogenic cyst arising from the dental lamina remnants.Multiple OKCs are rare and occur either in syndromic and non-syndromic groups.The Keratocyst demands special consideration because of its aggressive clinical nature and propensity for recurrence.Epithelial proliferation plays a significant role in behaviour of OKC and suggests that more aggressive behaviour is present in case of syndromic OKC than non-syndromic ones.Here we report a case of multiple OKCs in a 20 year old female patient having simultaneous occurrence of cystic lesions in maxilla and mandible without any syndromic manifestations.Comparison between syndromic and non syndromic multiple OKCs is also discussed.
