title: Botryoid odontogenic cyst.
abstract: Three previously unreported cases of botryoid odontogenic cyst, one of which recurred 9 years after initial surgical removal, are presented. The botryoid odontogenic cyst has a predilection for occurrence in the mandibular canine-premolar region and in persons over the age of 50 years. Periodic radiographic postoperative evaluations are recommended for these lesions, since the possibility of recurrence might be enhanced by their polycystic nature.
