ABSTRACT:Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KOT) is a benign odontogenic tumor with a potentially aggressive and infiltrative behavior. KOT most commonly occurs in mandible and demonstrates a unilocular, round, oval, scalloped radiolucent area, while large lesions may appear multilocular. An important characteristic feature of KOT is its propensity to grow in an antero-posterior direction within medullary cavity of bone causing minimal expansion. Definitive diagnosis relies on histological examination.
