Abstract

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are aggressive cysts with high recurrence rates and potential for infiltration. This case report presents a rare follicular OKC mimicking a dentigerous cyst in a 63-year-old male. Clinical suspicion and thorough histopathological examination were crucial for differentiating the two, leading to appropriate surgical management and ultimately preventing recurrence.
