ABSTRACT
KCOT is one of the most aggressive odontogenic cysts with a high recurrence rate, this was explained histopathologically as it typically shows a thin, friable wall, which is often difficult to enucleate from the bone in one piece, and have small satellite cysts within the fibrous wall. Multiple surgical approaches were introduced including decompression, marsupilization, enucleation with or without adjunct [Carnoy's solution, enucleation] and resection. Depending on other studies KCOT can be conservatively treated with enucleation and application of Carnoy's solution or cryotherapy. This can be used specially in the large lesions that when treated with resection, the continuity of the jaw will be interrupted. This technique shows comparable results to other more aggressive techniques
