“…5: 24 months after surgery biological behavior,treatment and prognosis than other histologic subtypes?. 3,13,14,15 COCs show nuclear and cytoplasmic positivity for beta catenin. 4 But the immune-histochemistry staining is not available all time as it was not available for our patient so a histologic criteria is necessary for differentiating between these similar lesions with different treatment and prognosis.…”

“…Ameloblastoma ex COC shows ameloblastic proliferation within the cyst wall without any ghost cell or calcification. 13 Adenoid ameloblastoma and odontogenic carcinoma can as well be considered in differential diagnosis of ameloblastomatous COC. Adenoid ameloblastoma also contains ghost cells and dentinoid similar to ameloblastomatous COC but has a pseudocribriform morphology.…”

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) or calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor was first introduced in 1962 by Gorlin et al., as a possible oral counterpart of calcifying epitheliomas of Malherbe in skin. This lesion is a rare odontogenic lesion with variable clinico-histological characteristics. Three different histologic subtypes has been reported for COC. In this study we presented a female patient diagnosed with ameloblastomatous COC a very rare variant of this lesion and challenges regarding microscopic diagnosis and treatment of it is discussed.
