Summary

This case study describes a rare solid variant of odontogenic keratocyst in the maxilla. The unusual lesion exhibited invasive growth and distinct histopathological features, necessitating differentiation from other odontogenic tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are common cysts of the jaw.
  • Distinguishing aggressive OKC variants from other odontogenic neoplasms is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • A rare, solid lesion of the maxilla presented with macroscopic and microscopic features of multiple separate keratocysts.
  • Radiological examination revealed a multilocular, ill-defined radiolucency with infiltration into the maxillary sinus and orbital floor.
  • Histopathological analysis excluded features of ameloblastoma or papilliferous structures.

Findings:

  • The lesion demonstrated invasive and destructive growth patterns.
  • Histopathological and histochemical findings supported a neoplastic nature.

  • The proposed diagnosis is a solid variant of odontogenic keratocyst.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare variants of odontogenic keratocysts.
    • Accurate differentiation from ameloblastoma and other odontogenic lesions is critical for patient management.
    • The solid variant of odontogenic keratocyst represents a distinct clinicopathological entity requiring further investigation.
