Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst

The calcifying ghost cell odontogenic cyst (CGCOC) was first described by Gorlin et al. in 1962. Calcifying ghost cell odontogenic cyst is comparatively rare in occurrence, constituting about 0.37% to 2.1% of all odontogenic tumors. The most notable features of this pathologic entity are histopathological features which include a cystic lining demonstrating characteristic “Ghost” epithelial cells with a propensity to calcify. In addition, the CGCOC may be associated with other recognized odontogenic tumors, most commonly odontomas. There are variants of CGCOC according to clinical, histopathological, and radiological characteristics. Therefore a proper categorization of the cases is needed for better understanding of the pathogenesis of each variant. Here, we report a classical case of calcifying odontogenic cyst along with a brief review of literature.

First Time

Gorlin in 1962 described calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) for the first time as a separate entity. It is an odontogenic cyst with notable presence of histopathological features which contains a cystic lining demonstrating “Ghost” cells with a propensity to calcify. COC shows diversity of variants according to its clinical, histopathological & radiological characteristics. A case of calcifying odontogenic cyst is reported with its review of literature.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i4.11586 Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(4) 2015 83-86

ABSTRACT The calcifying odontogenic cyst represents a heterogeneous group of lesions that exhibits a variety of clinicopathologic and behavioral features. Therefore, a proper categorization of the cases is needed for better understanding of each variant. Ameloblastoma is one of the well-known odontogenic tumors that could be associated with calcifying odontogenic cyst. Very few cases of ameloblastomatous calcifying odontogenic cyst have been reported in the literature. In this report, we present a case of ameloblastomatous calcifying odontogenic cyst differentiating it from other variants of calcifying odontogenic cyst.

ABSTRACT Aim The purpose of the present article is to discuss four different case reports of the so-called calcifying odontogenic cyst and highlight the histopathological diversity of the same. Background Calcifying odontogenic cyst was first described by Gorlin et al in 1962. Ever since, its identification as a specific odontogenic lesion, controversies and confusions have existed regarding the relationship between cystic lesions and solid tumor masses that share cellular and histomorphologic features. Although several classifications were proposed, dilemma still persists regarding the nature of these lesions as cysts, neoplasms and even malignancies. Conclusion and clinical significance The classifications discussed for the so-called calcifying odontogenic cyst by various authors have only added to further confusion rather than enlightening. Though many authors state that classifications remain only an academic exercise, it definitely has significance in treatment planning. Emphasis should, therefore, be laid on a universally accepted classification. How to cite this article Sonawane K, Singaraju M, Gupta I, Singaraju S.
