| Popis: | Introduction and importance Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare lesion of jawbone. It is classified among development cyst in the new WHO classification of tumors of the head and neck in 2017. It is a rare pathology, which is found more in the upper maxillae, with a predominance in women in the second or third decade. The diagnosis is based on the analysis of clinical, radiological and histological features. Case presentation We report the case of a 17-year-old patient referred by his orthodontist following the fortuitous discovery of a mixed radiolucent/radiopaque image in the right jaw ranging from the tooth 11 to the tooth 16, for whom the clinical, radiological examination associated with fine needle aspiration cytology suggested a cystic lesion. Clinical discussion Management initially consisted of decompression of the lesion and complete enucleation after nine months. Histopathological examination gave the diagnosis of calcifying odontogenic cyst. The follow-up showed favorable evolution. Highlights • Calcifying odontogenic cyst is a rare lesion of the jaws • Treatment is based on enucleation; in our case we opted for decompression which gave a good result which can be an alternative in large lesions • This case deserves better exposure in your journal. |
