Histological Review And Management Of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor By Its Unique Characterizations

First mentioned as ’primordial cyst;’ in 1945 by Robinson, and currently as Keratocystic odontogenic tumour(KCOT); KCOT is known for its aggressive behavior and recurrence. With a peak frequency between 2nd and 3rd decade and higher incidence in mandible in angle ramus region. Recurrence rate with enucleation alone without curettage range from 9% to 62.5% so the minimal treatment modality would be at least curettage after enucleation. Thus knowing the treatment options and histological features will help in the treatment planning of KCOT.
