Odontogenic keratocyst has been reintroduced as a cyst in the 2017 World Health Organization classification. A 55-year-old woman presented with a painless swelling in the right retromolar region. The radiographic image disclosed a well-circumscribed, unilocular, radiolucent lesion in the right mandibular region, measuring approximately 3 cm in diameter. Incisional biopsy was performed for diagnosis. A diagnosis of keratocystic odontogenic cyst was made. Suture dehiscence occurred in the postoperative period, and the patient performed daily irrigation of the cavity with saline solution for 20 months.
