Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are developmental cysts which occur typically in the jawbones. They present more commonly in the posterior mandible of young adults than the maxilla. OKCs have been reclassified under odontogenic tumours in 2005 by the WHO and have since been termed as keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs). Here we report a case of a recurrent buccal lesion in a 62-year-old man which was provisionally diagnosed as a space infection (buccal abscess) but surprisingly turned out to be a soft tissue KCOT in an unusual location on histopathologic examination.
牙源性角化囊肿(OKCs)是一种发育性囊肿,通常发生于颌骨。与上颌骨相比,其更常见于年轻成年人的下颌骨后部。2005年,世界卫生组织将OKCs重新归类于牙源性肿瘤,此后被称为角化囊性牙源性肿瘤(KCOTs)。在此,我们报告一例62岁男性复发性颊部病变,最初被诊断为间隙感染(颊部脓肿),但令人惊讶的是,经组织病理学检查发现其在一个不寻常的位置是软组织KCOT。
