Abstract :
Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are rare,
aggressive cystic lesions originating from the dental
lamina remnants and basal cells of the oral epithelium.
Despite their typically asymptomatic presentation, OKCs
may be incidentally discovered on dental radiographs or
present with symptoms such as pain or swelling due to
infection or bone expansion. This case report describes a
21-year-old male who presented with pain in the lower
right molar region, This case highlights the diagnostic
challenge of OKCs, which can mimic other odontogenic
pathologies and underscores the importance of
radiographic assessment for early identification and
management of such lesions.
Keywords :
Odontogenic Keratocyst, Odontogenic Tumour, CBCT, MRI.
