    Abstract

    The Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a cystic lesion that is a non – inflammatory developmental and a chronic cystic lesion which may be seen as a unilocular or multi locular lesion on a radiograph. OKC is usually asymptomatic and has an odontogenic origin. It shows an aggressive clinical behaviour and is known to have a high recurrence rate and has a tendency to invade adjacent soft tissues and bone. The same may be undiagnosed and only seen incidentally on a radiograph. Diagnosis is based on clinical history, clinical appearance, radiographs and histology. This case of OKC of the mandible was incidentally discovered on a radiograph involving the ramus of the mandible and is presented in this article.
