Abstract

Clinical presentation of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) along with other pathologies of the jaw such as ameloblastoma, and ossifying fibroma is well documented. However, the simultaneous occurrence of OKC with lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is very rare. We present a clinical scenario where there was concurrent presentation of OKC with LPC.

Keywords: Lateral periodontal cyst; odontogenic cysts; odontogenic keratocyst.
