CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT OF KERATOCYSTIC ODONTOGENIC TUMOR WITH MARSUPIALIZATION FOLLOWED BY ENUCLEATION: A CASE REPORT

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (formerly odontogenic keratocysts) (KCOT) is an unique cyst because of its locally aggressive behavior, high recurrence rate and characteristic histological appearance. The present case report describes the conservative surgical management of a large keratocystic odontogenic tumor in an adult patient with no evidence of recurrence at two years follow-up.

MARSÜPYALİZASYONU TAKİBEN YAPILAN ENÜKLEASYON İLE KERATOKİSTİK ODONTOJENİK TÜMÖRÜN KONSERVATİF TEDAVİSİ: BİR OLGU SUNUMU

Keratosistik odontojenik tümör (eski adıyla odontojenik keratosist) (KCOT), lokalize agresif davranışa, yüksek nüks oranına ve karakteristik histolojik bir görünüme sahiptir.
