The Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is characterized by pathognomonic histomorphological features and rarely exhibits significant deviations. We present a case of OKC of mandibular posterior region in a 25-year-old female patient. In addition to the classical histopathological characteristics of OKC, the connective tissue near the juxta-epithelial area displayed numerous small round basophilic calcifications resembling psammomatoid ossicles. These calcifications displayed a focal distribution pattern, with round calcifications evenly spaced from each other. Some of these round calcified bodies bore a resemblance to Liesegang ring calcifications. The presence of psammomatoid ossicles in this specific OKC challenges established knowledge, emphasizing the necessity for more comprehensive investigations into these cystic variants especially related to their biological behavior.
