Non-syndromic multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumor: A case report

Abstract

A Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) is a benign odontogenic lesion that is well-known for its histopathological features and invasive clinical behaviors. KCOTs may be non-syndromic or syndromic, and the syndromic type presents a higher risk of recurrence and invasive behaviors. Non-syndromic KCOTs are uncommon and account for only 5% of the cases. The purpose of the present case report is to conduct clinical, radiographic and pathologic evaluations and treat a 37-year-old man with non-syndromic nevoid basal cell carcinoma. Syndromic and non-syndromic keratocysts present more invasive behaviors than the solitary type.The initial symptoms of syndromic keratocysts appear as multiple keratocysts of the mandible and maxilla that are diagnosed by a dentist; as a result, the diagnosis and treatment of the disease is very crucial.

Non-syndromic multiple odontogenic keratocyst finding with Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): A rare case report

“…Presentation with Multiple OKCs should be thoroughly scrutinized for categorizing into syndromic and non-syndromic varieties. 2,6,7 Multiple KCOTs are mostly seen with Gorlin Goltz syndrome. However, a few cases of nonsyndromal multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumours have rarely been reported in the literature.…”
