OKC (odontogenic keratocyst) of parakeratinized variant is a benign developmental cyst in jaw, aggressive in nature, and is considered a mystery for surgeons in terms of its management. Though they are benign in nature they have a unique tendency to recur after conservative treatment. Therefore most appropriate management still remains controversial. Treatment modalities advocated ranges from conservative approach of enucleation to most radical form of resection. Here is a case of Parakeratinized odontogenic keratocyst in which treatment was done by enucleation with peripheral ostectomy along with chemical cauterization through CarnoyÂ’s solution. The patient was kept under follow up without any signs of recurrence for past 8 years.
