%X The Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is classified as a developmental epithelial cyst and comprises approximately11% of all cysts of the jaws. The most characteristic clinical feature of OKC is the high recurrence rate. It is because of thischaracteristic that a variety of treatment modalities has been suggested for this cyst. Many of the surgeons prefer a moreaggressive treatment, like resection. We have tried a more conservative approach in managing a patient with a large OKCof the mandible and have had an excellent result. We would like to suggest that marsupialization can be a definitivetreatment option for large OKC¡¯s.
