Odontogenic cysts and tumors are well-recognized entities to the specialist oral pathologist and they seldom pose problems in differential diagnosis. This paper deals with an aggressive cystic lesion in the maxilla of a 65-year-old male that was characterized by a large radiographically multilocular lesion and a multicystic pattern microscopically. The categorization of this lesion was complicated by the presence of features suggestive of both glandular odontogenic cyst and cystic ameloblastoma with aggressive histologic phenotypes.
牙源性囊肿和肿瘤对于专业口腔病理学家来说是广为人知的实体，它们在鉴别诊断中很少造成问题。本文探讨了一名65岁男性上颌骨的侵袭性囊性病变，其特征是在影像学上表现为大的多房性病变，在显微镜下呈现多囊性模式。由于存在提示腺牙源性囊肿和具有侵袭性组织学表型的囊性成釉细胞瘤的特征，该病变的分类变得复杂。
