Los hallazgos clínicos y demográficos en la literatura se compararon basándose en una revisión desarrollada a través de los Criterios de calidad establecidos en la literatura para casos clínicos y series de casos, donde se consultaron cuatro bases de datos para la investigación en salud.

KEY WORDS: keratocyst odontogenic cysts odontogenic tumor case reportĮl objetivo de este estudio fue describir el tratamiento quirúrgico conservador del queratoquiste odontogénico, obedeciendo las pautas de CARE (Case Report Guidelines). However, we draw attention to the importance of the long follow up period of our case. Most of the described studies did not show lesion recurrence after using the conservative surgical treatment. In conclusion, conservative treatment was successful for the clinical case described, over an eight-year follow-up. The main clinical findings such as association with teeth, location, extension of lesion, and radiographic pattern corroborate the classic pattern of described cases reported by literature with a low general rate of recurrences. Keratocyst was frequent in male-adult patients, and the mean follow-up time after surgery was 46.7 ± 28.1 months. We followed the CARE guidelines (Case Report Guidelines), in this report. Currently, there are no signs of disease recurrence. At the same surgical time, we enucleated the lesion, followed by curettage and drain installation. We described the case of a patient who was asymptomatic, and the lesion was detected by routine radiographic examination.

We selected cases of patients followed up at least one year after sugical treatment. We searched for cases of keratocysts published in four databases. This study aimed to describe the conservative surgical management of odontogenic keratocyst, comparing with clinical and demographic findings in the literature, based on a literature review, using the quality criteria established in the literature for clinical cases and case series.
