[Recurrent maxillo-mandibular odontogenic keratocysts: prevention and treatment].
Keratocyst is an odontogenic cyst with an aggressive clinical behavior and a high recurrence rate. Our work describes a 62 year-old patient with Gorlin's syndrome presenting advanced recurrent maxillo-mandibular keratocysts. He already had multiple resections of these lesions. Early diagnosis and treatment of keratocysts is crucial to reduce the extension of the cysts and minimize their malignant transformation especially when they are part of a Gorlin's syndrome.
