Abstract

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are epithelial developmental cysts which were first described byPhillipsen in 1956. Lesions are frequently multiple and a component of Nevoid Basal Cell CarcinomaSyndrome (NBCCS) (Gorlin Goltz syndrome/Bifid rib syndrome). We hereby report a case of multipleOKCs in a non – syndromic patient and highlight the general practitioner the importance of diagnosingthe disease and enforcing a strict long-term follow-up whenever such a case is identified.
