Abstract:
The standard management for the majority of benign jaw cysts is enucleation, marsupialisation,
curettage and decompression. Enucleation has the advantage that the whole specimen is
sent for microscopic evaluation so that more sinister pathological processes (i.e. squamous cell
carcinoma) may not be missed. In a large cystic lesion, enucleation is still possible, but technical
difficulties might be encountered. In such instances, inevitable damage can occur to the surrounding
structures. We report a case of a large radicular cyst of the maxilla that was enucleated via endoscopic
assistance through the Caldwell Luc approach.
