Abstract

Background: The keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT), formerly known as the odontogenic keratocyst, is a benign intra-osseous odontogenic tumour. The KCOT is characterised by a potential for locally destructive behaviour and a relatively high recurrence rate. Most KCOT are incidentally discovered as well-defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies on routine panoramic radiographs.

Case Report: A 15-year-old boy was referred to dental care with a non-syndromic KCOT in the right angle of the mandible. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic instrument for precise assessment of the KCOT, the exact location of the lesion was determined.

Treatment: The cystic formation was enucleated without peripheral ostectomy.

Follow-up: At post-operative follow-up after 3 and 6 months, the boy reported no pain and there was no residual swelling or fracture. Imaging was planned after 1 year to decide whether further surgical treatment is indicated.

Conclusion: The CBCT is considered beneficial in cases of cystic formations to determine the localisation and borders of the lesion in all three dimensions.
