The separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth causes formation of dentigerous cyst. It may undergo metaplasia in several cases. In this case a 30 year old female patient reported with a history of dentigerous cyst with respect to impacted 48. The swelling started growing gradually causing facial asymmetry. On intraoral examination the swelling seem to extend from 48 to 46 region and cortical plates were expanded. The histopathological examination revealed the sample to be cystic ameloblastoma (mural variety). This paper sends a message that the potential of a cyst should never be understated, instead it must be kept in an observation or understanding the biological behavior over a course of time.

AbstractA rare case of monostotic ossifying fibroma of the dorsal spine in a postpartum woman is being described. Ossifying fibromas of the spine are very rare tumors. They are components of benign fibro-osseous lesions. We report a case of an 18-year-old woman, who presented with complaints of weakness of both the lower limbs in the immediate postpartum period and was diagnosed with ossifying fibroma of the dorsal [D3] vertebral body. The tumor was excised followed by spinal stabilization. Histopathologic findings were consistent with ossifying fibroma. Postoperative period was uneventful. Monostotic variant of ossifying fibroma in the dorsal spine is an extremely rare tumor, and its presence in the postpartum period adds on to the diagnostic dilemma. Hence this case report can be kept in mind while evaluating a case presenting with complaints of weakness of both the lower limbs in the immediate postpartum period.
