Background and aims . Pathological fractures are rare in the maxillofacial region and account for less than 2% of all fractures in this site. They are defined as fractures that take place when bone has been weakened by an underlying pathologic process. Among all pathoses, cysts (although so common in the maxillofacial region) constitute a very small part. Here we report a case of a dentigerous cyst in a 38-year-old man.The cyst was associated with a mandibular second premolar tooth and resulted in a pathologic fracture. Excision of the lesion was performed and bony union was observed after 6 months. In the literature review, only one case of dentigerous cyst causing pathologic fracture was found. In addition to the report of the present case, pathologic fractures associated with all types of odontogenic cysts (totally just 12 cases) are reviewed in this article to provide a comprehensive and detailed collection.
背景与目的。病理性骨折在颌面部区域较为罕见，占该部位所有骨折的比例不到2%。病理性骨折被定义为在骨因潜在病理过程而变弱时发生的骨折。在所有病变中，囊肿（尽管在颌面部区域很常见）仅占很小一部分。在此，我们报告一例38岁男性含牙囊肿病例。该囊肿与下颌第二前磨牙相关，并导致了病理性骨折。对病变进行了切除，6个月后观察到骨愈合。在文献回顾中，仅发现一例含牙囊肿导致病理性骨折的病例。除了本病例报告外，本文还对与所有类型牙源性囊肿相关的病理性骨折（总共仅12例）进行了综述，以提供全面而详细的汇总。
