    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a unique jaw cyst with a high recurrence rate, posing management challenges.
    • Its behavior and histological features distinguish it from typical odontogenic cysts, sometimes mimicking ameloblastoma.
    • Current understanding of OKC pathogenesis and optimal treatment remains debated.

    Observation:

    • A large odontogenic keratocyst in the mandible presented a complex clinical scenario.
    • The lesion exhibited characteristics that warranted careful consideration for treatment planning.
    • Previous management strategies for OKC have often yielded high recurrence rates.

    Findings:

    • This report documents the successful management of a large mandibular OKC.

  • Conservative treatment modalities were employed, challenging conventional approaches.
  • The case highlights the potential efficacy of less aggressive interventions.

    • Implications:

    • Conservative management may be a viable option for select large odontogenic keratocysts.
    • Further research into OKC pathogenesis could refine treatment protocols.
    • This case contributes to the ongoing discussion on optimal OKC therapy.
