Abstract

 Keratocystic Odontogenic tumor (KCOT) has been the topic of various researchers and is distinctive for its potentially aggressive behavior and tendency for multiplicity. It is anodontogenic tumorthat exhibits a hyperkeratinizedepithelial lining. The lesion originates from the cell-rests of the dental lamina rather than from the reduced enamel epithelium or the cell rests of Malassez. It constitutes for 3.11% of all odontogenic cysts. It often occurs as a solitary lesion at the angle of mandible and multiple lesions may occur in association with systemic changes. Here is a rare case report ofmultiple KCOTsassociated with an ovarian cyst in 30 years old female.
