Dentigerous Cyst: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lining of an odontogenic cyst may show potential for neoplastic transformation to non odontogenic malignancies like squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma and also odontogenic tumors like ameloblastoma and adenoamatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT). Unicystic ameloblastoma is a single cystic cavity lesion which shows ameloblastomatous differentiation in the lining. The clinical and radiological presentation of UCA can present a confusing picture of an odontogenic cyst, especially when it is seen in the inter-radicular or periapical area. Also, tooth associated UA may show features similar to dentigerous cyst. Hence histopathological examination is essential to diagnose such cases. Here, we present, a case of unicystic ameloblastoma arising from a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted mandibular third molar. A literature review on the topic has also been added.
