Odontogenic keratocyst, abbreviated OKC, is an uncommon odontogenic cyst.
It was known as keratocystic odontogenic tumour, abbreviated KOT, from 2005 to 2017.[1][2]
General
- May be associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
- Very rarely transforms to a squamous cell carcinoma.[3][4]
Clinical
Features:[5]
- Most common presentation: swelling.
Gross
- Location: usually mandible.
- May mimic ameloblastoma radiologically.
Microscopic
Features: [6]
- Stratified epithelium (resembling squamous epithelium) with:
- "Ribbon-like appearance" - important.
- Typically 8-10 cell layers thick - with relatively uniform thickness.
- Lacks rete ridges.
- Palisaded basal cell layer.
- "Ribbon-like appearance" - important.
- Parakeratosis (keratinized cells with nuclei) - key feature.
- Artefactual separation of epithelium from the basement membrane.
DDx:
- Odontogenic cyst.
- Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst[7] - usu. dentigerous cyst - has orthokeratosis instead of parakeratosis.
- Orthokeratosis = keratinized cells no nuclei; parakeratosis = keratinized cell with nuclei.
- Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst[7] - usu. dentigerous cyst - has orthokeratosis instead of parakeratosis.

Right Maxillary Sinus Mass, Excision: - Consistent with odontogenic keratocyst (benign ribbon-like squamous epithelium with keratinization, separated from the underlying hyaline stroma with cartilage). - Benign respiratory mucosa with mild inflammation. - NEGATIVE for malignancy.
