The calcifying odontogenic cyst was first reported by Gorlin et al. in 1962. At that time, it was classified as a cyst related to the odontogenic apparatus, although it was later renamed as a calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor by the WHO calcification in 2005 due to its histological complexity, morphological diversity and aggressive proliferation [2]. Here, we describe a case of a calcifying c...

calcifying odontogenic cyst (coc), central odontogenic fibroma (cof) and aggressive central giant cell granuloma (cgcg) are rare pathologic diseases affecting the jaws. while the co-existence of two of them is reported in the literature, existence of all three conditions in one patient is an extremely rare entity. in the present report, initial biopsy revealed fibrosarcoma, therefore mandibular...

conclusions the current study showed that clinicians should consider the many factors associated with the occurrence of odontogenic cysts. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate the frequency of odontogenic cysts and related factors in a selected iranian population. patients and methods the current cross-sectional study was conducted on 312 patients’ recorded data in taleghani hospital,...

The calcifying ghost cell odontogenic cyst (CGCOC) was first described by Gorlin et al. in 1962. Calcifying ghost cell odontogenic cyst is comparatively rare in occurrence, constituting about 0.37% to 2.1% of all odontogenic tumors. The most notable features of this pathologic entity are histopathological features which include a cystic lining demonstrating characteristic "Ghost" epithelial cel...

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 examinat...

A 14-year-old Black female was referred for management of an asymptomatic swelling in her right maxilla. The lesion measured 3cm across, was localised lateral to the right ala of the nose, felt bony hard in some areas and soft in others, and was continuous with the maxillary buccal plate. It occupied the right anterior vestibule but there was no palatal expansion. A panoramic radiograph showed ...

conclusions we reported a rare case of large residual cyst. dental practitioners should consider this lesion in the differential diagnosis of radiolucent lesions of the jaw bone. case presentation a 59-year-old iranian man complaining of a dull pain in his left side of the mandible after falling down one month ago was referred to the department of oral and maxillofacial pathology, hamadan unive...

peripheral calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (pccot) is a rare odontogenic lesion, which represents about 1% of jaw cysts. here we report clinicopathologic, radiographic and ct scan images of a new case of recurrent large pccot located in mandibular gingiva in a 77-year-old male with history of a nodular mass in the same area, which had been completely excised 3 years ago. in reviewing the li...
