Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a rare, benign, intraosseous tumor of odontogenic origin with a potential of aggressive and infiltrative behavior. It shows specific histopathological features, and has a high recurrence rate.
The presented case was of a 30 years old man from South Ethiopia, with a giant keratocystic odontogenic tumor of the mandible.
Although the occurrence of KCOT is rare, attention should be given during its clinical diagnosis. In this report, we presented the aggressive surgical management of a KCOT in a 30 years old patient with no evidence of recurrence within six monthsof follow-up.
牙源性角化囊性瘤（KCOT）是一种罕见的、良性的、起源于牙源性的骨内肿瘤，具有侵袭性和浸润性生长的潜能。它具有特定的组织病理学特征，且复发率高。
该病例为一名来自埃塞俄比亚南部的30岁男性，患有下颌骨巨大牙源性角化囊性瘤。
尽管KCOT的发生率较低，但在临床诊断时仍应予以关注。在本报告中，我们介绍了一名30岁患者KCOT的积极手术治疗情况，随访6个月无复发迹象。
