A<unk>  <unk>  is a rare and usually benign odontogenic cyst developed at the odontogenic epithelium of the mandible or maxilla. Originally, the cyst was labeled as "sialo-odontogenic cyst" in 1987. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) decided to adopt the medical expression<unk> ". Following the initial classification, only 60 medically documented cases were present in the population by 2003.<unk>  was established as its own biological growth after differentiation from other jaw cysts such as the "central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC)", a popular type of neoplasm at the salivary glands.<unk>  is usually misdiagnosed with other lesions developed at the<unk>  and salivary gland due to the shared clinical signs. The presence of osteodentin supports the concept of an odontogenic pathway. This odontogenic cyst is commonly described to be a slow and aggressive development. The inclination of<unk>  to be large and multilocular is associated with a greater chance of remission.<unk>  is an infrequent manifestation with a 0.2% diagnosis in jaw lesion cases. Reported cases show that<unk>  mainly impacts the mandible and male individuals. The presentation of<unk>  at the maxilla has a very low rate of incidence. The<unk>  development is more common in adults in their fifth and sixth decades.<unk>  has signs and symptoms of varying sensitivities, and dysfunction. In some cases, the<unk>  will present no classic abnormalities and remains undiagnosed until secondary complications arise. The proliferation of<unk>  requires insight into the foundations of its unique histochemistry and biology. The comparable characteristics of<unk>  with other jaw lesions require the close examination of its histology, morphology, and immunocytochemistry for a differential diagnosis. Treatment modes of the<unk>  follow a case-by-case approach due to the variable nature of the cyst. The selected treatment must be accompanied with an appropriate pre and post-operative plan.
