Surgical Management of a Recurrent Odontogenic Keratocyst With Orbital and Temporal Fossa Invasion

Abstract

Odontogenic keratocyst is a benign locally aggressive odontogenic cyst with a high recurrence rate. This report presents an unusual case of a recurrent odontogenic keratocyst with zygomatic bone involvement and orbital and temporal extension resulting in globe compression. Odontogenic keratocyst is reviewed, and surgical management of the cyst is discussed. The authors present a case of a recurrent odontogenic keratocyst involving the zygoma with orbital and temporal invasion; aggressive surgical resection and reconstruction was required.
