Abstract
The adult gingival cyst is an uncommon lesion, considered a representative of the soft tissue counterpart of the lateral periodontal cyst, being derived from the dental blade. The cyst has a striking predilection for the canine region and lower premolars. The aim of this study is to report a case of adult gingival cyst in a 74-year-old patient. A cystic lesion in the mandibular region, in gingival, between 32 and 33, about 1.0 cm was observed. An excisional biopsy was performed. Microscopic findings confirmed the diagnosis of adult gingival cyst. About 1 year later there is no sign of recidivation. This study was important for documenting an unusual lesion in the population.
