Of pathologic hard tissue lesions developing in jaw, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and dental practitioners easily meet the cystic lesions, but these cystic lesions have the specific respective pathway on developing mechanism. When early detected. these cystic lesions are treated by simple enucleation and bone graft. but when treatment being delayed, these produce the large defect of jaw.
Odontogenic cysts are currently thought to arise from proliferation of reduced enamel epithelium, tooth germ, and oral epithelium. It is not to difficult to diagnose these lesions, but lining epithelium of odonogenic cyst can be keratinized progressed to ameloblastoma and other malignant lesions. In those cases, lesions have the high recurrence rate and other clinical behavior.
This female patient was 16 years old and had the operative istory of multiple keratocyst in jaw. The patient was admitted with multiple dentigerous cyst at different areas at this time. Patient didn't show any signs or symptom in related with any syndrome.
We thought this case is very rare, so report it with a review of literatures.
