Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Calcifying odontogenic cyst was first described by Gorlin et al. in 1962. WHO defined it as "a cystic lesion in which the epithelial lining shows a well-defined basal layer of columnar cells, an overlying layer that is often many cells thick and that may resemble stellate reticulum, and masses of ghost epithelial cells that may be in the epithelial cyst lining or in the fibrous capsule". Calcifying odontogenic cysts are 1.6% of all central odontogenic tumors. These are relatively rare odontogenic tumors occurring in the posterior mandible.
Case Report: This report emphasizes a unique case of a 55-year-old male suffering with pain in lower right molar region and the management of the case. Conclusion: Even though the recurrence rate of calcifying odontogenic cyst is very rare, there are some case reports of development of ghost cell odontogenic carcinomas from calcifying odontogenic cyst. Our follow-up radiograph did not show any signs of recurrence. However, a clinical study with larger number of cases and long-term follow-up is required. | |
