| Abstract:
|
Odontogenic keratocyst is a cyst of dental origin with an aggressive clinical behavior, having high recurrence rate. Odontomas are hamartomatous lesions composed of mature enamel, dentin, and pulp and may be compound or complex depending on the extent of morphodifferentiation or on their resemblance to normal teeth. They are the most common benign odontogenic tumors, constituting 22% of all odontogenic tumors of the jaw. We present a case report of a 35-year-old male with infected odontogenic keratocyst associated with the impacted canine and odontome . However, there are very few case reports in the literature of the simultaneous occurrence of the lesions, and hence this case is very rare. It is unclear whether the two lesions were just coincidental or were actually related to each other
