Carcinomas from an odontogenic cyst are not common, yet when they occur, squamous cell carcinomas are the most often seen. Among these cysts, the malignancy of keratocysts or dentigerous cysts are most likely. In contrast, a malignant transformation of a radicular cyst to an intraosseous carcinoma is extremely rare. In this case report, an intraosseous carcinoma arising from an odontogenic cyst in a 26-year-old male patient is presented. This case report clearly demonstrates the importance of the clinician's awareness of the malignant potential of apparently innocuous cystic lesions.
牙源性囊肿来源的癌并不常见，但当它们发生时，最常看到的是鳞状细胞癌。在这些囊肿中，角化囊肿或含牙囊肿最有可能恶变。相比之下，根囊肿恶变为骨内癌极为罕见。在本病例报告中，呈现了一例 26 岁男性患者的牙源性囊肿内发生的骨内癌。本病例报告清楚地表明了临床医生对看似无害的囊性病变的恶性潜能的认识的重要性。
