Squamous cell carcinoma arising is an odontogenic cyst is rare, Eversole finding 36 cases in his review of the literature in 1975. Since then, a further 10 have been recorded in the English literature. We now report another case and describe its management. The need to histologically examine all odontogenic cysts is stressed.

D009807	Odontogenic Cysts	Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation.	Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst
