Abstract

Odontogenic tumors (OT) are lesions that derive from the tooth-producing tissues or their remnants that remain entrapped either within the jawbones or into the adjacent soft tissues. WHO's formal reclassification of Odontogenic keratocyst as a tumour underscores the fact that this lesion should not be managed as the simple cyst it was believed to be. The distinction and delineation from cyst to a tumor is an enigmatic part in the spectrum of progression of this disease. The purpose of this paper is to review the treatment of a patient with KCOT using marsupialisation combined with enucleation.
