Simultaneous occurrence of an odontogenic keratocyst and giant cell granuloma-like lesion in the mandible.
An odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and a giant cell granuloma (GCG) in the jaws are well-known entities, which have been reviewed extensively. However, there is no report in the literature of the simultaneous occurrence of these two lesions. A case of OKC in the mandible displaying foci of a GCG-like lesion is described. It is unclear whether the two lesions were just coincidental or were actually related to each other.
