Conservative Management of Multiple Odontogentic Keratocyst in a Young Patient with 2 Years Follow Up

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is now designated by World Health Organization (WHO) as keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT). OKC possesses tumor-like characteristics because of its clinical behavior. We report a case of non syndromic multiple OKC in a 14 year old boy with mild mental retardation (M.R). He had swelling since 6 months and pain since 3 days. Intra oral examination revealed obliteration of left labiobuccal vestibule. OPG revealed the presence of seven distinct radiolucent lesions in lower jaw. Histopathologically, it was diagnosed as OKC. Surgical enucleation of the cyst followed by application of Carnoy´s solution. The patient showed uneventful recovery with no recurrence after a follow up of 2 years.
