Abstract
Calcifying odontogenic cyst is considered rare and is characterized by painless swelling, which can cause tooth displacement and root resorption. This entity has been defined as a simple cyst lined with ameloblastoma‐like epithelium containing focal ghost cells. A 22-year-old male patient reported with right maxillary swelling for 1 year. Diagnosis of odontogenic abscess and tooth 16 extraction was performed by another dentist; however, there was no regression of the increased volume and mobility of teeth 15 and 17 was present. Facial computed tomography scan, aspiration puncture, and marsupialization were performed. The anatomopathologic result was compatible with calcifying odontogenic cyst. Marsupialization was performed 3 more times because of the patient's rapid healing, the last with the aid of a device. One month after the last marsupialization, enucleation of the lesion was performed in an operating room. After 2 months, teeth 17 and 15 showed reduced mobility. The 4-month follow-up was uneventful.
