Description
Summary:Odontogenic keratocyst has many etiological classifications, variable nomenclature, and treatment dilemmas associated with it. We present the case of a young female with a large single painless and progressive lesion involving the right maxilla successfully treated with enucleation and peripheral ostectomy. The case is presented to highlight that these cysts are usually asymptomatic initially and may be confused with maxillary sinusitis. They need careful radiological and histopathological evaluation and should be resected using aggressive approaches to prevent future recurrences.
