Occurrence of a gingival cyst in adults that exhibits the histopathologic hallmarks of an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is rare.
Two cases of primary soft tissue OKC in an adult female are described. Both presented as an asymptomatic small nodule on the buccal gingiva of the anterior mandible.
After simple excision, no recurrence was observed.
All available data indicate that, irrespective of the nomenclature, peripheral OKC should be included under the histopathological spectrum of gingival cysts in the adult.
成人发生的牙龈囊肿呈现牙源性角化囊肿（OKC）的组织病理学特征较为罕见。
描述了一名成年女性的两例原发性软组织OKC病例。两例均表现为下颌前部颊侧牙龈上的无症状小结节。
简单切除后，未观察到复发。
所有现有数据表明，无论命名如何，外周性OKC应纳入成人牙龈囊肿的组织病理学范畴。
