Abstract
The calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) or Gorlin cyst is a rare lesion, described as a benign cystic odontogenic neoplasm. It usually occurs in young adults, between the third and fourth decade of life and presents variable clinical behavior. It may also be associated with odontoma, ameloblastoma or impacted teeth. Recurrences are uncommon and malignant behavior is rare. In this study, it is reported a case of a 35-year-old male patient, presenting with an intraosseous lesion in an occasional panoramic radiograph in the anterior maxilla. Lesion was asymptomatic and the radiograph showed a radiolucent unilocular image, as well as multiple radiopaque structures within the lesion, located between teeth 13 and 15. Teeth were unharmed and were not associated with the lesion. Histopathologic analysis from excisional biopsy pointed to the diagnosis of CCOT associated with Odontoma complex. The patient is currently under active follow-up.
