Calcifying Odontogenic cyst is a rare Odontogenic cyst represents 1% of the dental cysts. It is well known to clinicians and pathologists but regarding sub types there are still controversies. It may arise from odontogenic epithelial rests present in the maxilla, jaw or gums. Our case is a 64 years male with an asymptomatic swelling on the left mandibular ramus with a 2x2cms radiolucent lesion with tiny flecks of radiopacities. Histopathologically cyst lined by 2-3 layered columnar cells in palisading pattern, ghost cells and calcifications confirmed the diagnosis.

Abstract


Calcifying Odontogenic cyst is a rare Odontogenic cyst represents 1% of the dental cysts. It is well known to clinicians and pathologists but regarding sub types there are still controversies. It may arise from odontogenic epithelial rests present in the maxilla, jaw or gums. Our case is a 64 years male with an asymptomatic swelling on the left mandibular ramus with a 2x2cms radiolucent lesion with tiny flecks of radiopacities. Histopathologically cyst lined by 2-3 layered columnar cells in palisading pattern, ghost cells and calcifications confirmed the diagnosis.
