Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare lesion of jawbone. It is classified among development cyst in the new WHO classification of tumors of the head and neck in 2017. It is a rare pathology, which is found more in the upper maxillae, with a predominance in women in the second or third decade. The diagnosis is based on the analysis of clinical, radiological and histological features.
We report the case of a 17-year-old patient referred by his orthodontist following the fortuitous discovery of a mixed radiolucent/radiopaque image in the right jaw ranging from the tooth 11 to the tooth 16, for whom the clinical, radiological examination associated with fine needle aspiration cytology suggested a cystic lesion.
Management initially consisted of decompression of the lesion and complete enucleation after nine months. Histopathological examination gave the diagnosis of calcifying odontogenic cyst. The follow-up showed favorable evolution.
牙源性钙化囊肿(COC)是一种罕见的颌骨病变。在2017年世界卫生组织头颈部肿瘤新分类中,它被归类为发育性囊肿。这是一种罕见的病理情况,在上颌骨中更为常见,在二三十岁的女性中更为多见。诊断基于临床、放射学和组织学特征的分析。
我们报告一例17岁患者,该患者由正畸医生转诊而来,其右颌从11号牙至16号牙偶然发现一个透射线/阻射线混合影像,临床、放射学检查及细针穿刺细胞学检查提示为囊性病变。
最初的治疗包括病变减压,九个月后进行完整摘除。组织病理学检查诊断为牙源性钙化囊肿。随访显示病情进展良好。
