The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) accounts for 1 % of jaw cysts, found most commonly as central lesion. The COC usually manifests itself as a painless, slow growing swelling, anterior to the first molar region. Radiographically it appears as a well-defined, unilocular radiolucency, and may have a radiopaque mass in its center. Majority of the cases appear before the fourth decade of life. The COC is found rarely in patients in the first decade of life. Histopathological features include a cystic lining demonstrating characteristic "Ghost" epithelial cells with a propensity to calcify. Here we report the unusual occurrence of a case of 8 year child diagnosed with bilateral COC on right and left side of mandible.
钙化牙源性囊肿（COC）占颌骨囊肿的1%，最常见为中心性病变。COC通常表现为无痛、生长缓慢的肿胀，位于第一磨牙区前方。影像学上表现为边界清晰的单房性透光区，中心可能有不透光团块。大多数病例出现在40岁之前。COC在10岁前的患者中很少见。组织病理学特征包括囊壁内衬具有特征性“鬼影”上皮细胞且有钙化倾向。在此我们报告一例罕见病例，一名8岁儿童被诊断为双侧下颌骨COC，分别位于右侧和左侧。
