Abstract

|
|
|
Occurrence of multiple cysts in jaw bone is rare compared to solitary cysts. numerous cysts occurring in jaw bone which not accompany any syndromes are defined as multiple jaw cysts, and most of these cases in children are keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) Multiple KCOT occurring in children are often associated with basal cell nevus syndrome(BCNS), so if multiple cysts are found on the radiograph, we suspect this syndrome and pursue clinical and pathological tests. In this case, a pediatric patient, reporting with multiple cysts in the jaw was suspected of BCNS, but hasn’t shown any other symptoms of this syndrome up to date, and has kept repeating surgical operation and recurrence of the tumor. Although no symptoms besides multiple jaw cysts is present, it is often reported that other symptoms appear late in the patient’s age. Therefore, in cases where multiple odontogenic tumors are found in children, continuous radiographic and clinical follow-ups in order to check the progress of the syndrome is considered important.
