Abstract

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) often occur in the molars in the mandibular ramus; they often progress asymptomatically and are discovered only after widespread development. Some cases of OKC progress to the mandibular condyle; however, very few cases exist only in the condyle. To the best of our knowledge, in all of the previously reported cases, OKCs occurred in the mandibular ramus, which underwent resection. The present study reports the case of a 31‑year‑old man in whom an OKC (13x12x6 mm) occurred discretely in the base of the condyle, in which the condylar head was successfully preserved. The tumor was removed under general anesthesia using the approach of shaving the anterior surface of the mandible. The extraction cavity was managed using the packed open technique and with an obturator. Approximately 20 months post‑operation, the patient remained recurrence‑free. This report presents a rare case of an OKC in the mandibular condyle base region. Resection was performed under general anesthesia and the condylar process was successfully preserved.
