Calcifying odontogenic cysts (COC) are rare lesions classified as developmental cysts and occur mostly in the maxillary and mandibular bone. Some of the COCs are related to odontogenic lesions.
We report a 60-year-old man with COC of the maxillary bone, presenting after tooth extraction. The patient has a palpable tender mass at the right upper tooth area. Imaging shows a well-defined radiolucency in the 7-3 tooth area of the right upper jaw. The combination of radiologic data and histopathologic findings was in keeping with the calcifying odontogenic cyst. Total enucleation is the chosen treatment for COC. No recurrence is proved by X-ray imaging after 1-year follow-up.
COC is a rare entity of odontogenic cysts and needs an exact diagnosis by pathology examination to estimate behavior.
Our case report offers significant data that could help clinicians and surgeons as well as pathologists with the diagnosis and management of these lesions.
牙源性钙化囊肿（COC）是一种罕见的病变，归类为发育性囊肿，主要发生在上颌骨和下颌骨。部分牙源性钙化囊肿与牙源性病变有关。
我们报告一例60岁上颌骨牙源性钙化囊肿男性患者，拔牙后就诊。患者右上牙区可触及压痛性肿块。影像学检查显示右上颌7-3牙区有边界清晰的透射区。放射学数据与组织病理学结果相结合符合牙源性钙化囊肿。完整摘除是牙源性钙化囊肿的首选治疗方法。1年随访后X线影像证实无复发。
牙源性钙化囊肿是牙源性囊肿中的罕见类型，需要通过病理检查进行准确诊断以评估其行为。
我们的病例报告提供了重要数据，可帮助临床医生、外科医生以及病理学家对这些病变进行诊断和管理。
