“…Most benign odontogenic lesions expand the cortical borders of the jaws where OKCs extend along the long-axis or anteroposterior region of the jaws. 6 The patient presented above did not have any of the other clinical features of NBCCS. However, if Basal Cell Carcinomas are present the treatment and prognosis depend on the behaviour of the skin lesions.…”

“…1 The OKCs in patients with NBCCS have a higher recurrence rate and need more aggressive treatment. 6 To detect early recurrences, the patient must be followed up with regular radiographs. Genetic counselling should be done for all patients with NBCCS.1 Early diagnosis and regular followup visits by a multidisciplinary team are important.…”

An 18-year-old male patient presented at our dental clinic in 2009 for a dental assessment. A panoramic radiograph was taken to evaluate dental crowning (Figure 1). An incidental finding was noted in the right maxilla, presenting as a well-demarcated, round, unilocular, radiolucent lesion with a corticated rim extending from the right maxillary tuberosity area to distal of the 16 causing. impaction of the 18. A biopsy was taken and diagnosed as an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) that was subsequently enucleated. In 2021 the patient returned, and another panoramic radiograph (Figure 2) and a Waters view was taken where calcification of the falx cerebri was seen (Figure 3). On the panoramic radiograph an additional mandibular lesion was visible that presented as a well-demarcated, round, unilocular, radiolucent lesion with a corticated rim extending from distal of the 46 into the missing 47, 48 area. A CBCT was then. taken to further analyse the lesions (Figure 4). A biopsy was taken in the right posterior mandible and diagnosed as an OKC. In 2023 the patient returned and a CBCT was taken. The right maxilla showed increased bone density adjacent to the enucleated lesion (Figure 5).
