Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst With Ameloblastomatous Proliferation: a Case Report and Review of Literature
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), also known as a Gorlin cyst, is an uncommon odontogenic lesion, accounting for only 1-2% of all jaw cysts. Initially described by Gorlin in 1962[3], it exhibits a diverse range of clinical and histopathological characteristics. The coexistence of ameloblastomatous proliferation within a COC is exceptionally rare, with fewer than 25 reported cases globally, posing significant diagnostic and managementchallenges.[6,7,10]This rare finding not only highlights the uniqueness of the case but also emphasizes the critical need for meticulous histopathological examination to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, thereby improving patient outcomes.
