Abstract :
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is an intraosseous odontogenic cyst which present as a painless swelling. We report a case of 22 years old male presenting as painless swelling over mandible since 1 years which is gradually progressive. There was no history of fever, tooth extraction, trauma or any addiction. Cytomorphology was consistent with Odontogenic keratocyst. Histomorphology was consistent with Odontogenic keratocyst. FNAC is an important preoperative diagnostic tool which is quick and safe. We suggest for routine FNAC for the intraosseous jaw lesion along with radiological and histopathological investigation.
