CALCIFYING ODONTOGENIC CYST ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLEX ODONTOMA: UNCOMMON CASE REPORT
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), first described as a separate entity by Gorlin et al. in 1962, is a cystic lesion lined by an ameloblastoma-like epithelium containing ghost cells and calcifications. It is an uncommon benign lesion that can occur in association with various types of odontogenic tumors, such as odontomas. This variable histology and clinical behavior of COC has raised the question of whether or not it is a cyst or a true neoplasm. In this paper, we present a rare case of COC associated with complex odontoma in the left anterior maxilla treated by enucleation with no sign of recurrence after a 3-year follow-up.
