Abstract

Odontogenic keratocyst is a benign intraosseous lesion of odontogenic origin which is characterized by its aggressive nature. It is usually present in the mandibular posterior area, although it can also be found in the maxilla, particularly in the canine region. We discuss a unique example of OKC in the maxillary sinus involving the 27&28 region. Due to comparable clinical signs, this lesion is more prone to be mistaken for other lesions of the maxillary sinus, such as sinusitis or polyps. On the other side, this benign disease has the potential to develop into Ameloblastoma or squamous cell carcinoma. A favorable prognosis thus depends on early identification, precise diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and follow-ups.

一例罕见的上颌窦内牙源性角化囊肿：诊断与治疗。

牙源性角化囊肿是一种源于牙源性的良性骨内病变，其特点是具有侵袭性。它通常出现在下颌后部，但也可出现在上颌，尤其是犬齿区。我们将讨论上颌窦中涉及 27 和 28 区的一个独特的 OKC 病例。由于临床症状相似，这种病变更容易被误认为是上颌窦的其他病变，如鼻窦炎或息肉。另一方面，这种良性疾病也有可能发展为釉母细胞瘤或鳞状细胞癌。因此，良好的预后取决于早期识别、精确诊断、适当治疗和随访。
