This report demonstrates a simple endodontic solution to an interdisciplinary case of a patient with multiple gene deficiencies. An adolescent patient presented with an impacted premolar that could not be extracted due to high-risk conditions. A suspicious degree of radiolucency around the crown was clinically diagnosed as dentigerous cyst. The treatment dilemma and implementation are discussed. This case report offers a different treatment option for impacted teeth when significant differential diagnosis of a pericoronal lesion dictates treatment.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare - and rectovaginal extragastrointestinal stromal tumours (RV-EGISTs) even rarer. We share a case of RV-EGIST, complemented by high-quality radiological and surgical images. A review of current literature pertaining to RV-EGIST is also included. Our case report highlights the diagnostic challenge presented by extragastrointestinal stromal tumours. Differentiated from overlapping pathologies only by targeted application of immunohistopathology and cytogenetics, the inclusion of RV-EGIST in the differential diagnosis of a rectovaginal tumour is essential to making this correct diagnosis. Primary surgery is the treatment of choice for RV-EGIST if complete cytoreduction can be achieved, combined with adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for those with high-risk features to further reduce rates of future recurrence.

In an orthodontic practice, it is common to deal with impacted teeth, which are one of the most difficult situations dealt with by dentists. This case report describes the surgical and orthodontic management of the impacted teeth in a large dentigerous cyst. In the initial stage of treatment, the cyst was marsupialized over 7 months. After decompression of the cyst, spontaneous eruptions of the impacted tooth were noticed. Then, they were orthodontically brought into the proper occlusion.

Summary: Dentigerous cyst is a casual clinical findingassociated with an alteration on the eruption of canine, premolares and third molars. Itsdiagnostics is bassed on routinare periapical and panoramic Rx examinations. A space folicularbigger than 3 mm around the crown of a tooth is a reasonable approach to diagnose the lesion likecyst dentígerous. Dentígerous cyst is considered the second more frecuent maxilary odontogenic cystand represent 24% of the jaw cysts, its biggest incidence it is presented between the second andthird decade of the life and is characterized to be asymptomatic, for the expansion and loss of thecortical wall even producing facial asymmetries, radicular reabsorptions of contiguous teeth, pain,parestesia, gingival hiperplasy, infection, fistule and pathological fractures. It is recommendedthen to retire the impacted teeth to prevent the occurrence of cysts and tumors. Key words:Dentígerous cyst. Included tooth. Mandibular radiolucencies.
