Keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs) arise from remnants of epithelial structures associated with the development of teeth and occur predominantly intraosseously. In rare occasions they can appear extraosseously in the gingiva as peripheral counterparts; only 15 cases have been reported to date. Evenmore rare are cases of KCOTs of the buccal soft tissues. The aim of this report is to present a rare case of KCOT affecting the buccal soft tissue as an original site and a review of the literature regarding diagnostic and therapeutic options.
牙源性角化囊性瘤（KCOTs）来源于与牙齿发育相关的上皮结构的残余物，主要发生在骨内。在罕见的情况下，它们也可以在牙龈中作为周围对应物出现于骨外；迄今为止，仅报告了 15 例。更罕见的是发生于颊部软组织的 KCOT 病例。本报告的目的是介绍一个罕见的病例，即作为原始部位发生的颊部软组织 KCOT，并对其诊断和治疗选择进行文献复习。
