Odontogenic keratocyst now officially known as keratocystic odontogenic tumuor, treatment has been part of numerous discussions over the years. Based on a literature review, more aggressive treatment like resection or…
Background: An extranodal lymphoma in oral cavity represents less than 5% of oral malignant disease, commonly arising in submucosal tissues of gingiva, palate, and tongue. The lymphoma in the jaws…
