title: Odontogenic keratocyst: an unusual cause of unilateral nasal swelling.
abstract: The odontogenic keratocyst is the least common of all odontogenic cysts which usually presents to the maxillofacial surgeon. An unusual case is described which presented to the ENT department with a rapidly enlarging unilateral intranasal mass. The clinical and radiological features of this lesion are presented and attention is drawn to the need for aggressive surgical excision because of its high recurrence rate.
