Abstract
Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is a pathology that presents high proliferative activity and frequent relapses after treatment. The aim of this study was to report a case of OKC with uncommon location in a 22-year-old patient presenting swelling and drainage of purulent secretion in the region of the third right upper molar. In examinations, a radiolucent density unilocular image involving impacted element 18 was observed. After excisional biopsy accompanied by severe bone curettage, the removed specimen was sent for histopathological analysis, where final diagnosis of odontogenic keratocystic was obtained. The patient has been in clinical and radiographic follow-up for more than 6 months and, to date, there are no signs of relapse.
