Odontogenic Keratocyst: An Enigma
Abstract
Odontogenic Keratocyst (Primordial cyst) is known amongst clinicians for its peculiar behaviour, origin of varied nature, discussions regarding its development and a unique tendency to recur. Hence, it has been the subject of interest over the past 40 years. These cysts can occur singly or multiply, as a part of Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS). The objective of this case report and discussion is to emphasize that proper examination, diagnosis and appropriate treatment is vital to prevent recurrence of the lesion.
