Highlights
Primary intraosseous carcinoma arising in a dentigerous cyst is a rare observation.
There are no clinical or radiological pathognomonic characteristics and the diagnosis is often made fortuitously.
A surgical excision with clear margin is the cornerstone of treatment.
A systematic and careful microscopic analysis of any cyst, even if look like benign, should be undertaken.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
