A case of calcifying odontogenic cyst with ameloblastomatous proliferation and adenomotoid odontogenic tumor-like proliferation

Abstract

We recently have encountered a calcifying odontogenic cyst peripheral to the impacted tooth (8) of a 23-year-old female patint with the right maxillary sinus inflammation.
Interestingly, the cyst accompanied with ameloblastomaous proliferation and adenomotoid odontogenic tumor-like proliferation, therefore, a pathologic study of this case along with a review of the literature is discussed in thsis paper.
In the study of 69 cases of calcifying odontogenic cyst in japan, many were found to have impacted tooth (53.6%), mostly at the site of the canine (79.7%), and many had the complication of odontogenic tumor (43.9%).
