Odontogenic keratocyst is one of the most aggressive odontogenic cysts owing to its relatively high recurrence rate and its tendency to invade adjacent tissues. Odontogenic keratocyst associated with unerupted tooth, surrounding the crown with the cyst lining attached to the neck of the tooth in a true dentigerous relationship, are termed as Follicular keratocyst. Follicular keratocyst accounts for 25-40% of all Odontogenic keratocyst’s. The aim behind bringing these cases is to help the clinician in modifying the final treatment plan after the final diagnosis, as Odontogenic keratocyst’s are potentially aggressive lesions with high recurrence rates in contrast to Dentigerous cysts.
