Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst - A Case Report

The calcifying odontogenic cyst (cocc) is a developmental odontogenic cyst,which was first categorized as a distinct entity by Gorlin in 1962.It is an unusual and unique lesion,which may show characteristics of both a solid neoplasm and a cyst. It usually occurs as an intraosseouslesion but may occasionally occur as an extraosseous or peripheral variant.It shows a newly equal distribution between the maxilla and mandible and is commonly seen anterior to the first molar.The clinical and radiographic features of this lesion are not pathognomic,and it is characterized by its histological diversity,with the most characteristic feature being the presence of a variable number of ghost cells within the epithelial component.Treatment of choice for COC is surgical enucleation which is done in a conservative mannerand recurrences are unlikely. This report describes a case of COC of a 26yrs old female in association with swelling on left side of maxilla since 2 years.

Decompression Tube

The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is an uncommon lesion, with variable clinical and histopathological behavior. The cystic form is the most frequent and the most common histological characteristic is the presence of a variable number of phantom cells in the epithelial component. The standard treatment for this injury is enucleation followed by curettage or excision. However, when other factors are associated, this single-step approach can lead to complications such as pathological fractures. A common treatment for keratocysts and dentigerous cysts, but uncommon for COC has been showing high effectiveness. Thus, a two-stage approach using a tubular object to perform initial decompression of the lesion and later excision of the lesion can be performed in order to prevent complications. Here we report a two-stage treatment, through initial surgical decompression, of a COC associated with a lower second molar in the mandibular basilar region, using a tubular device, in which a pathological fracture was prevented. The results of this case corroborate the use of decompression applied to the treatment of COC.
