| Popis: | The dentigerous cyst is defined as an odontogenic developmental cyst, which originates from the separation of the follicle that surrounds the crown of an included tooth, accounting for about 20% of all epithelium-lined cysts in gnathic bones. It occurs frequently in the lower third molars. A 9-year-old female patient presented with an increase of volume from the right mandible side for approximately 1 month, with a hardened aspect to the palpation and with moderate pain. Imaging examination revealed a large, hypodense, unilocular lesion associated with the germ of the 45 element. We performed an incisional biopsy, and the diagnosis was dentigerous cyst. After confirming the diagnosis, the marsupialization of the lesion was performed. The patient is undergoing 18-month follow-up, during which regression of the lesion was observed. |
