The clinical, radiological and histological features of six large maxillary odontogenic keratocysts are reviewed. Special treatment considerations for extensive maxillary lesions are discussed. Patient follow-up, including imaging studies, is important to allow the early detection and treatment of recurrent lesions when they are small and well localized.
