Dentigerous cysts are odontogenic developmental cysts, which mostly surround the crown of unerupted teeth, odontomas or supernumerary teeth. These cysts are mostly solitary in occurrence and their bilateral presentation is rare, especially in the absence of syndromes such as Maroteaux-Lamy, basal cell nevus or cleidocranial dysplasia. We present an unusual case of a 24-year-old female with nonsyndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts associated with unerupted mandibular canines that were diagnosed histopathologically as dentigerous cysts.
含牙囊肿是牙源性发育性囊肿,大多围绕未萌出牙、牙瘤或多生牙的牙冠。这些囊肿大多为单发,双侧出现的情况罕见,尤其是在没有诸如马罗托-拉米综合征、基底细胞痣综合征或锁骨颅骨发育不全等综合征的情况下。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名24岁女性患有与未萌出下颌尖牙相关的非综合征性双侧含牙囊肿,经组织病理学诊断为含牙囊肿。
