The keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a relatively rare, benign neoplasm which develops in the maxilla or mandible, arising from the dental lamina or basal cells of the oral epithelium. It is often found incidentally and brings about late symptoms as it does not cause bone distension for a long time.
The presented case is of a young woman with a giant keratocystic odontogenic tumor of the mandible.
Despite its rare occurrence, it must be taken into consideration in radiological and clinical diagnostics. Due to the frequent recurrence of KCOT, patients are recommended to be kept under long-term and close radiological supervision.
牙源性角化囊性瘤（KCOT）是一种相对罕见的良性肿瘤，发生于上颌骨或下颌骨，起源于牙板或口腔上皮的基底细胞。它常为偶然发现，由于长时间不引起骨质膨胀，故出现症状较晚。
本文报告一例患有巨大下颌牙源性角化囊性瘤的年轻女性病例。
尽管其发病率较低，但在放射学和临床诊断中仍需予以考虑。由于KCOT复发频繁，建议对患者进行长期密切的放射学监测。
