In recent years, there have been published clinical reports dealing with cysts or tumors of the odontogenic character the extract of which revealed pathologic keratinizing or calcifying changes in the light of histopathologic examination Cl, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). These pathologic changes are said to give quite different histopathologic findings from those of the radicular cyst, follicular cyst ...

introduction calcifying odontogenic cyst (coc) is an uncommon odontogenic lesion, classified in two variants: the cystic variant and neoplastic (solid) variant. case presentation this case report presents multiple coc, which involved the maxillary bone and sinus in a 30-year-old man. several of these lesions were cystic, while the others were neoplastic in type, and the lesions were removed sur...

although aneurysmal bone cysts and calcifying odontogenic cysts accompanied with other lesions are reported in the literature, the simultaneous occurrence of these two distinct lesions has not been reported. to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing co-occurrence of these two lesions located in the left mandibular ramusin a 36-year-old woman.

Hybrid tumors are very rare tumors composed of two different tumor entities, each of which conforms to an exactly defined tumor category. A 14-year-old boy was referred for an intraosseous painless lesion with a histopathological feature of multiple odontogenic lesions including calcifying odontogenic cyst, complex odontoma and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. The final diagnosis considered to be a...

p53 and pcna expression in keratocystic odontogenic tumors compared with selected odontogenic cysts summary: the aim of this study was to evaluate p53 and pcna expression in different odontogenic lesions regarding their different clinical behaviors. slices prepared from 94 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks (25 radicular cysts (rc), 23 dentigerous cysts (dc), 23 keratocystic odontogenic tumors (kc...

the calcifying odontogenic cyst (coc) is a rare odontogenic cyst. only 2% of all odontogenic cysts and tumors are coc. coc associated with odontoma (cocao) reported in 24% of cocs. cocao presents a greater incidence in female, with a ratio of 2 to 1. the highest incidence of cocao occurs during the second decade with a mean age of 16 years, most frequently occurring in the maxilla (61.5%). here...

  Peripheral calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (PCCOT) is a rare odontogenic lesion, which represents about 1% of jaw cysts. Here we report clinicopathologic, radiographic and CT scan images of a new case of recurrent large PCCOT located in mandibular gingiva in a 77-year-old male with history of a nodular mass in the same area, which had been completely excised 3 years ago. In reviewing the...

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a unique odontogenic lesion with combined features of a cyst and neoplasm.  This lesion shows a great diversity in its clinicopathological behavior.  It may become aggressive and rarely malignant.  This case is an aggressive COC of the maxilla in a young male patient which recurred after several radical surgical excisions.  Eventually invading the cranium, t...

calcifying odontogenic cyst (coc), central odontogenic fibroma (cof) and aggressive central giant cell granuloma (cgcg) are rare pathologic diseases affecting the jaws. while the co-existence of two of them is reported in the literature, existence of all three conditions in one patient is an extremely rare entity. in the present report, initial biopsy revealed fibrosarcoma, therefore mandibular...

Calcifying Cystic Odontogenic Tumor (CCOT) was previously described by Gorlin et al., in 1962 as Calcifying odontogenic cyst. CCOT is a rare lesion which accounts for 2% of all odontogenic pathological changes in the jaws. One of the variants, Ameloblastomatous proliferating type of CCOT is even more rare and very few cases have been reported in the light of literature review. This case report ...
