This case report details a rare peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst, discussing its clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features. Understanding these aspects aids in accurate diagnosis and management of this uncommon jaw lesion.

Area of Science:

Oral Pathology
Odontogenic Cysts
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Peripheral calcifying odontogenic cysts are rare benign odontogenic tumors.
They present as a soft tissue swelling adjacent to bone, lacking direct bone invasion.
Differential diagnosis includes various reactive and neoplastic soft tissue lesions of the oral cavity.

Observation:

A case of peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst is presented.
Clinical examination revealed a localized swelling.
Radiographic evaluation showed no bone involvement, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.

Findings:

The lesion exhibited characteristic calcifications within the cystic or tumorous structures.
Histopathologic features included ghost cells and calcified material.

Etiology remains unclear, but it is considered a variant of calcifying odontogenic cyst.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and to differentiate from malignant lesions.
Early detection and surgical excision are typically curative.
This case contributes to the understanding of the rare peripheral variant of calcifying odontogenic cysts.
