Summary
A peripheral odontogenic keratocyst in the jaw recurred after 12 months. This case highlights the need for careful follow-up after conservative surgery for this rare cyst.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Peripheral odontogenic keratocysts (POKCs) are rare cystic lesions.
- Understanding their behavior and recurrence patterns is crucial for patient management.
Observation:
- A case of POKC in the posterior mandibular gingiva of a 57-year-old female is detailed.
- The lesion exhibited recurrence 12 months post-conservative surgical treatment.
Findings:
- This case demonstrates the potential for recurrence of peripheral odontogenic keratocysts.
- Conservative surgical management necessitates vigilant long-term monitoring.
Implications:
- Patients diagnosed with POKC require meticulous follow-up protocols.
- Further research into optimal management strategies for POKC is warranted to minimize recurrence.
