| Summary: | BACKGROUND AND
OBJECTIVE: Calcifying odontogenic cyst is an uncommon developmental
cyst. It accounts for only 1% of jaw cysts and uncommonly occurs with odontoma.
Herein, we report a case of calcifying odontogenic
cyst, associated with complex odontoma.
CASE REPORT: The patient was a 12-year-old girl with complaints of painless
swelling in the mandibular first premolar. In
radiographic examination, a radiolucent-radiopaque
lesion was reported. The lesion, as well as the impacted
tooth, was surgically removed via enucleation. In
pathological analysis, an odontogenic cyst with ghost cells and complex
odontoma was observed. Enucleation was performed for
treatment and no recurrence was reported during the one-year
follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Clinical and
radiographic findings of odontogenic lesions are not
exclusive. Therefore, more attention should be paid to
the fact that the type of lesion associated with Gorlin cyst determines
the clinical course, treatment, and prognosis of complex
lesions. |
