Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol. 2004 Sep;113(9):688-90. doi: 10.1177/000348940411300902.

Abstract

Odontogenic keratocysts are odontogenic cysts of the jaw, usually the mandible. We present a recurrent case in the maxilla. Immunohistochemical staining is necessary to distinguish the entity from other cystic lesions of the jaw, and aggressive surgical management is required.
