| Abstract: | Objectives: To analyze the clinical and radiographic features of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) from a Brazilian oral and maxillofacial pathology reference center. Study Design: Data regarding sex, ethnicity, age, time of evolution, symptoms, location, radiographic features, size, treatment, and recurrence of OKC were collected. Results: Among 37,029 oral biopsies, 1915 (5.2%) were odontogenic cyst, of which 300 (0.8%) met the criteria of OKC. Males (51.3%) of African descent (57.1%) were more prevalent. Individuals in their third decade (31.4%) were more affected. Asymptomatic lesions (79.3%) were reported by most of the patients. Radiolucent (100.0%), well-defined (27.9%), unilocular (28.4%) lesions with a mean size of 3.5 cm on the posterior man dible (48.9%) were more commonly found. Impacted teeth were associated in 30 cases. The percentage of cases surgically excised was 65.8%. Recurrence was seen in 67 patients (25.4%). Conclusions: The findings of this study were similar in many ways to previous reports. However, concerning skin color, the literature shows a greater number of cases in Caucasian individuals. |
