BACKGROUND Keratinizing odontogenic cysts of the mandible commonly have an aggressive clinical course, marked by multiple recurrences. Primary intraosseus carcinoma (PIOC) of the mandible is rare, and when it occurs it is often found to be arising in or closely associated with some type of cystic structure. METHODS A patient with squamous cell carcinoma arising from an odontogenic keratocyst is studied clinically, radiographically, and pathologically. RESULTS The patient who was documented to have an odontogenic keratocyst, 1 year later had a squamous carcinoma removed from the recurrent cyst. CONCLUSIONS We report the occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma arising from a recurrent odontogenic keratocyst, which has not previously been documented in the literature. The literature on this subject is reviewed.

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
