We report a case of the calcifying odontogenic cyst occurring on the left anterior mandible of a 41-year-old male with clinical and radiographic features which made it initially to be a lateral periodontal cyst. This unusual presentation of a calcifying odontogenic cyst is discussed and its significance for the clinician is reviewed. A calcifying odontogenic cyst may present some problems for the differential diagnosis both clinically and histopathologically. The differential diagnosis of a lesion occurring in a lateral periodontal location should include the calcifying odontogenic cyst.
