An Unusual Presentation of Keratinous Cyst – A Case Report

The cyst was excised, and the affected bone underwent curettage. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a keratinous cyst with no evidence of granuloma or malignancy. Postoperatively, the patient experienced an uneventful recovery, undergoing immobilization and later non-weight-bearing mobilization. This case highlights the importance of considering non-infective causes, such as keratinous cysts, when evaluating bone lesions with lytic characteristics, especially in the presence of a history of trauma or previous interventions. Prompt surgical intervention and histopathological examination are critical for accurate diagnosis and management.
