Abstract
Wright in 1981 identified orthokeratinized variant of the odontogenic keratocyst and named it as orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC). Due to its different histopathology and reduced likelihood to recur, he held it to be distinct from the parakeratotic type. It usually occurs in the mandible and after surgical removal, it showed rare recurrence. Numerous studies have shown that OOC has typical characteristic clinicopathologic features when compared to other developmental odontogenic lesions such as keratocystic odontogenic tumors and dentigerous cysts. This case report is a typical example of an odontogenic lesion diagnosed histopathologically as OOC in the maxilla having clinic-radiographic features similar to dentigerous cyst. Interdisciplinary management of OCC helps in proper diagnosis, plan treatment, and provide the best quality of care to the patient.
