The aim of this retrospective study was to report frequency of sporadic odontogenic keratocysts (sOKC) according to the age and gender, as well as location (mandible, maxilla, soft tissues, and maxillary sinus). Four hundred and twenty nine sOKC confirmed pathohistologically in a period from 1965-1998 were included in this study. The average age of patients with sOKC was 43.11 (age range 10-91), in males 42.06 and in females 44.72 years. More frequently sOKC were found in males (60.61%) in comparison to the females (39.39%). Therefore, ratio between males and females was 1.5:1. Diagnosis of sOKC is usually established in patients aged 21-30 (18.88%), in males usually aged between 21-30 (23.46%), and in females aged between 11-20 (18.93%). sOKC are more frequent in males according to the age groups, except between age 61-70 where sOKC were more frequent in females. Most frequently, sOKC occurred in the mandible 70.16%, 12.35% of sOKC were found in the maxilla, 12.82% in soft tissues and 4.66% in the maxillary sinuses.
