Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a distinctive form of developmental odontogenic cyst.It has specific histopathologic features and aggressive clinical behavior including a high recurrence rate.OKC was first described by Phillipsen in 1956.OKC tends to grow in an antero-posterior direction within the medullary cavity of the bone without causing obvious bone expansion.This report describes a case on odontogenic keratocyst involving mandible occurring in a 25 years old patient.
