Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crown of the tooth and typically develop from single lesions. Bilateral and multiple dentigerous cysts are very rare and occur in patients with syndromic conditions. This paper presents a case report of a 15-year-old male patient that experienced non-syndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts that simultaneously occurred in all four dental quadrants around the unerupted third molars. Clinicians should confirm the extent of cystic lesions using a panoramic view and computed tomography, and should keep the possibility of bilateral dentigerous cysts in mind as a potential diagnosis, even in a non-syndromic patient.
含牙囊肿是常见的牙源性囊肿,与牙冠相关,通常由单个病变发展而来。双侧和多发性含牙囊肿非常罕见,见于患有综合征性疾病的患者。本文报告一例15岁男性患者,其发生了非综合征性双侧含牙囊肿,同时出现在未萌出第三磨牙周围的所有四个牙象限。临床医生应使用全景片和计算机断层扫描确认囊性病变的范围,即使在非综合征性患者中,也应将双侧含牙囊肿作为一种潜在诊断加以考虑。
