Bilateral Mandibular Orthokeratinised Odontogenic Cysts in a 14-year-old Patient

Abstract

Nikhil Joshi

Orthokeratinised odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst. It was previously classified as an orthokeratinised variant of the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). However, due to the difference in histopathological features and clinical behaviour, it is now considered a distinct entity. OOCs are uncommon findings and the presence of bilateral lesions are even rarer. This article presents an unusual case of a 14-year-old male patient who was treated for bilateral OOCs in the posterior mandible, both of which were incidental findings.
