Odontogenic keratocyst a benign tumour into a cystic lesion in the year 2017. OKCs represent 2-11% of all odontogenic cysts, affect all ages with a peak from the 2nd–4th decade and have a male to female ratio of 2:1. Benign lesions of the jaws are quite uncommon (17%) of which odontogenic keratocyst holds the most uniqueness due to its specific clinical characteristics, histological features and aggressive biological behaviour. OKC in mandible is quite common than maxilla. Moreover, OKC requires aggressive surgical management as compared to other odontogenic cysts especially in maxilla. Hence it is important to accurately diagnose this lesion. Here we present a case of OKC in maxilla which was provisionally diagnosed as infected cyst, treated by complete enucleation and after histological examination it is diagnosed as Odontogenic keratocyst.
