The odontogenic keratocyst is an established pathologic entity. Dentists must be aware of its existence and understand its clinical characteristics. Because it is impossible to radiographically and clinically differentiate the keratocyst from more innocuous odontogenic cysts, all cystic lesions removed from patients should be submitted for histopathologic examination and diagnosis.
