Calcifying odontogenic cyst mimicking dentigerous cyst in a 36 year old male: A case report

Abstract

Odontogenic and nonodontogenic cystic lesions of the mandible have wide range of pathologic features but similar imaging findings. Their locations in the mandible and prevalence rate often help narrow the differential diagnosis. Histological findings are crucial and direct the workup and treatment of a lesion. This case report presents calcifying odontogenic cyst mimicking dentigerous cyst involving left angle of mandible in a 38 year old male.
