Abstract
Summary: An expansile lesion in the body of the left mandible had high attenuation (225 HU) on nonenhanced CT scans. Histologic examination revealed an odontogenic keratocyst with no evidence of mineralization or calcification within the lesion. The high attenuation was considered to be due to highly concentrated protein of thick, viscous keratin in the lumen of the keratocyst.
