Abstract

Abstract: We present the frequency of cases of isolated odontogenic keratocysts submitted to microscopic examination at 10 Brazilian referral centres in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. In a retrospective (1953–2017) analysis, data on clinicoradiographic features and treatment of these lesions were collected and analysed descriptively. Among the 258, 867 cases retrieved, 2, 497 (0.96%) were isolated odontogenic keratocysts. In summary, an overview of individuals affected with isolated odontogenic keratocysts is reported herein. This lesion showed predilection for the posterior mandible of young adult men.
