Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is a benign odontogenic cystic lesion which arises from dental lamina lined by parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Odontogenic Keratocyst is (OKC) also termed as Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumour (KCOT) (WHO 2005). Most frequently it involves posterior of the mandible than maxilla. OKC in the maxillary sinus is rarely reported. The treatment approaches vary in case to case manner. However regular follow up for minimum of five years is required.

Background: Odontogenic maxillary cysts and tumours originate from the tooth root and have traditionally been treated through an intraoral approach. Here, we report the efficacy and utility of endoscopic modified medial maxillectomy (EMMM) for the treatment of odontogenic maxillary cysts and a tumour. Methodology: We undertook EMMM under general anaesthesia in six patients: four had radicular cysts, one had a dentigerous cyst, and one had a keratocystic odontogenic tumour. Results: The cysts and tumours were completely excised and the inferior turbinate and nasolacrimal duct were preserved in all patients. There were no peri- or postoperative complications, and no incidences of recurrence. Conclusion: Endoscopic modified medial maxillectomy appears to be an effective and safe technique for treating odontogenic cysts and tumours.

AbstractObjective:Schwannomas are slowly growing tumours derived from Schwann cells. We present a clinical case of schwannoma in the mandibular angle.Method:Case report and a review of the world literature concerning intraosseous schwannoma of the maxillofacial region.Results:Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are slow-growing, benign neoplasms derived from Schwann cells. Intraoral lesions are unusual and intraosseous schwannomas are even rarer, representing less than 1 per cent of benign primary tumours of the bones. We present a clinical case of schwannoma in the mandibular angle mimicking a keratocystic odontogenic tumour, with a complicated posterior evolution.Conclusion:Clinically, neurilemmomas are slow-growing tumours which may be present for years before becoming symptomatic. Radiographically, the image may be suggestive of a benign process such as an odontogenic keratocyst. Histological analysis of the specimens obtained is extremely important in order to establish the final diagnosis.
