Abstract
Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are rare, aggressive cystic lesions originating from the dental lamina remnants and basal cells of the oral epithelium. Despite their typically asymptomatic presentation, OKCs may be incidentally discovered on dental radiographs or present with symptoms such as pain or swelling due to infection or bone expansion. This case report describes a 21-year-old male who presented with pain in the lower right molar region, This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of OKCs, which can mimic other odontogenic pathologies and underscores the importance of radiographic assessment for early identification and management of such lesions.
