Dentigerous cyst (DC) is the second most common type of odontogenic cyst. It is thought to have a developmental origin, arising from an anomaly in the reduced dental epithelium. Rarely seen in early childhood, DC is mostly prevalent among people aged between 20 and 40. The most common location of DC is the mandibular third molar, more rarely occurring in the maxillary sinus. Enucleation is the standard treatment. Herein, we report an 11-year-old boy with DC that developed into the maxillary sinus, measuring 5×2.5×1.7 cm. We also present an evaluation of the diagnosis and treatment of this type of DC.
含牙囊肿（DC）是第二常见的牙源性囊肿。它被认为起源于发育异常，由缩余釉上皮的异常所致。含牙囊肿在儿童早期很少见，大多在20至40岁的人群中高发。含牙囊肿最常见的部位是下颌第三磨牙，在上颌窦中较少见。囊肿摘除术是标准的治疗方法。在此，我们报告一名11岁患有含牙囊肿并发展至上颌窦的男孩，囊肿大小为5×2.5×1.7厘米。我们还对这类含牙囊肿的诊断和治疗进行了评估。
