Eight new cases of the calcifying odontogenic cyst have been reported. In addition, a review of the literature produced an additional sixty-five cases. This lesion can occur in any age group, but it shows a peak incidence in the second decade. It is evenly distributed between the maxilla and the manidible and occurs with equal frequency in males and females. There does not appear to be any race predilection. The calcifying odontogenic cyst may occur in association with other pathologic entities. It is postulated that it does not in every case represent a separate pathologic entity but that it may represent a secondary phenomenon which occurs within preexisting lesions.
