Abstract
Odontogenic keratocyst potentially aggressive and high recurrence, with clinical and radiographic features not clearly defined. It occurs at any stage of life. 70 to 80% are located in the mandible, commonly in the third molar region and the mandibular angle from where they progress towards the branch and body. They are generally asymptomatic lesions that can reach considerable dimensions. They are often
found on routine radiographic examination. The objective of this article is to report the case of a 40-year-old woman with parakeratinized odontogenic keratocyst, evaluating her clinical, radiographic and histopathological characteristics that led to timely and adequate conservative management and treatment with satisfactory results. Concluding that the careful preparation of the medical history based on clinical, radiographic and histopathological findings lead to a correct diagnosis, which allows the development of an adequate treatment plan.
