Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are developmental odontogenic cysts of epithelial origin. OKCs was first identified in 1876 and further characterized by Phillipsen in 1956. [1] OKC has a important mention in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery due to its high recurrence rate [2]
OKC’s arise from the remnants of the dental lamina. It can occur in isolation or as a multitude of cysts which are linked to syndromes such as Gorlin–Galtz. OKC’s may be regarded as a benign neoplasm rather than a conventional cyst [3] The most occurence site of OKC is the mandible (73%) compared with 27% in the maxilla [4]. Maxillary odontogenic keratocyst is rare and accounts less than 1% of the total OKC cases reported in the literature.[5] .Considering their aggressive behaviour, varying origin, unusual development, discrimintion treatment modalities, and especially its high recurrence rate, OKCs have been a subject of interest for various oral surgeons globally.Hereby presented a case which outlines the management and findings of a solitary OKC in rekation to left posterior maxilla region involving left maxillary sinus and its importance in diagnosing the cyst earlier for achieving best outcomes.
