Popis: Introduction : After radicular and follicular cysts, odontogenic keratocysts are the third most common cyst of the jaws. They can be unique or multiple when included in basal cell nevus syndrome. The odontogenic keratocyst is known for its high recurrence rate and local aggressiveness. It has been classified into two histologic variants: orthokeratinized or parakeratinized. The aim of this report is to highlight the clinical and radiological characteristics, the histopathological features, as well as the risk factors for recurrence of odontogenic keratocysts. Case report : Two clinical cases of odontogenic keratocysts with different histologic features are reported. Discussion : Radiological and histological features, localization, extension and evolutionary aspect of the lesion are risk factors for recurrence, and therefore have an impact on the treatment of keratocysts. Through critical analysis of the first case report, the authors identify therapeutic errors to avoid, particularly when histologic confirmation of the lesion has been obtained.
