The botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is a rare entity which has been sporadically reported in the literature since Weathers and Waldron coined the term in 1973. Approximately twenty-five such lesions have been described in the last twenty-one years. However, the histologic origin and nomenclature of this cyst have been quite controversial. Cysts with similar characteristics may have been seen even earlier than 1973, but were classified as other types of cysts of odontogenic or mesenchymal origin. The purpose of this article is to chronicle a case and its management, and to delineate several criteria to insure the proper diagnosis of the botryoid odontogenic cyst clinically, radiographically and histologically.
葡萄状牙源性囊肿（BOC）是一种罕见的病变，自1973年韦瑟斯和沃尔德伦提出该术语以来，文献中仅有零星报道。在过去的二十一年里，大约描述了二十五例此类病变。然而，该囊肿的组织学起源和命名一直颇具争议。具有相似特征的囊肿可能早在1973年之前就已被发现，但被归类为牙源性或间充质来源的其他类型囊肿。本文旨在记录一例病例及其治疗过程，并阐述一些标准，以确保在临床、影像学和组织学上正确诊断葡萄状牙源性囊肿。
