Abstract

Aim: To show a case of a patient with a rare entity, calcifying odontogenic cysts, through the history of the transformation of the nomenclature and classification of odontogenic tumors. Case: A young healthy male visited the Clinic for Dental Medicine because he had, slow growing painful swelling in the right wisdom tooth. Diagnostic imaging, CBCT is indicated partly solid, partly cystic unilocular enlightenment. The cyst was enucleated and material was forwarded to the histopathologic analysis. Pathological analysis revealed a benign formation of odontogenic origin and represents calcifying odontogenic epithelial cyst. Discussion and conclusion: Because of diverse behavior of calcifying odontogenic cyst there is a wide range of descriptive nomenclature assigned to date this lesion. Research in the future, which would include molecular and genetic diagnostic methods, could eventually propose a universal acceptable classification.
