Abstract
Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KOT) is a lesion that affects the gnathic bones, mainly in the posterior jaw area. Clinical and radiographic characteristics include asymptomatic volumetric increase and lack of cortical bone expansion and are related to an impacted tooth. However, the diagnosis can be confused for others when the lesion presents in other areas, such as the periapical region. In these cases, different management is recommended. This paper reports a case of KOT that demonstrated clinical and radiographic findings resembling those of radicular cyst and is designed to educate professionals who may see this lesion, such as endodontists and pathologists, about the possibility of a periapical presentation.
