Introduction: The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a unique type of developmental odontogenic cyst. In addition to having aggressive nature and a high recurrence rate, it also exhibits specific histopathologic characteristics.OKC tends to develop in an antero-posterior direction inside the marrow cavity of the bone without noticeably enlarging the bone. In 1956, OKC was first described by Phillipsen. Case Report: This case study discusses an odontogenic keratocyst that affected the mandible in a 35-year-old patient. Conclusion: Due to its unique histopathologic characteristics and clinical behavior, the developmental odontogenic cyst known as the odontogenic keratocyst merits special attention.
