CALCIFYING ODONTOGENIC CYST ASSOCIATED WITH ODONTOME- A CASE REPORT
Prairna Dhawan, Amarpal Singh Kang, Neha Harisinh Solanki

Odontogenic cysts are classified according to their origin as developmental or inflammatory. The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare example of a developmental odontogenic cyst comprising between 0.37 - 2.1% of all odontogenic lesions. A significant source of disagreement prevails in the terminology of this complex lesion which stems from the fact that there are two different concepts or schools of thought when looking at the nature of COC; the monistic and the dualistic concept. We report a calcifying odontogenic cyst associated with odontoma in a 10 year old boy.
Key words: Calcifying odontogenic cyst, developmental cyst, ghost cells, odontome.
