The odontogenic keratocyst is an enigmatic developmental cyst that deserves special attention. It has characteristic histopathological and clinical features; but, what makes this cyst special is its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate. Odontogenic keratocyst is a benign odontogenic cyst, commonly affecting the mandible. These lesions have posed a great difficulty for the surgeons and pathologists. Few cases affecting the maxilla are also reported. Literature search suggests that odontogenic keratocysts may affect maxillary posterior and canine region. The present case reports a lesion of odontogenic keratocyst occuring in the maxillary incisor region, crossing midline which was initially misdiagnosed as infected residual cyst. After careful evaluation, it was reported as an odontogenic keratocyst. Key Words: Odontogenic keratocyst, Maxilla, Incisor teeth.
牙源性角化囊肿是一种神秘的发育性囊肿，值得特别关注。它具有特征性的组织病理学和临床特征；但使这个囊肿特殊的是其侵袭性的行为和高复发率。牙源性角化囊肿是一种良性牙源性囊肿，通常累及下颌骨。这些病变给外科医生和病理学家带来了很大困难。也有少数累及上颌骨的病例报道。文献检索表明，牙源性角化囊肿可能累及上颌后牙区和尖牙区。本病例报告了一例发生在上颌切牙区、跨越中线的牙源性角化囊肿病变，最初被误诊为感染性残余囊肿。经过仔细评估，报告为牙源性角化囊肿。关键词：牙源性角化囊肿；上颌骨；切牙
