Popis: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the 5-year recurrence-free survival and prognostic factors of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) from a single-center retrospective cohort in the northeastern region of Brazil. Forty cases of OKC comprised the study population. In the cohort analyzed, 18 (45%) cases were recurrent OKCs and 22 (55%) were non-recurrent OKCs. Recurrence-free survival was defined as the period from the release of the histopathological report to the occurrence of relapse or last visit to the service. Comparison of the clinicopathological variables between primary and recurrent OKC lesions revealed no differences in the frequency of epithelial thickness, presence of satellite cysts and cystic spaces, presence of an inflammatory infiltrate, locularity, and lesion borders. The frequency of symptoms was practically the same even after recurrence. Satellite cysts were more frequent in the group of recurrent lesions (n = 9, p = 0.002) and the presence of an inflammatory infiltrate was also significantly associated with recurrent lesions (n = 15, p = 0.006). Previous decompression or marsupialization was associated with recurrence of the lesion (p = 0.010). In conclusion, the most significant prognostic factors were previous decompression or marsupialization, as well as, morphological parameters associated with the recurrence cases were the presence of an inflammatory infiltrate and satellites cysts. The risk of recurrence is low but continues due to the particularities of epithelial proliferation in OKC.
