The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) accounts for 1 % of jaw cysts, found most commonly as central lesion. The COC usually manifests itself as a painless, slow growing swelling, anterior to the first molar region. Radiographically it appears as a well-defined, unilocular radiolucency, and may have a radiopaque mass in its center. Majority of the cases appear before the fourth decade of life. The COC is found rarely in patients in the first decade of life. Histopathological features include a cystic lining demonstrating characteristic "Ghost" epithelial cells with a propensity to calcify. Here we report the unusual occurrence of a case of 8 year child diagnosed with bilateral COC on right and left side of mandible.

This paper reports about an ameloblastic fibrodentinoma with macroscopically visible pigmentation, resulting in the clinical appearance of a melanotic lesion in a 21-year-old Japanese male. In addition to the characteristic histopathologic features of ameloblastic fibrodentinoma, various-formed and -sized cells, which were considered to be melanophages containing numerous aggregates of melanin pigment in their cytoplasm, were densely distributed throughout the mesenchymal component. In addition, melanin pigment was deposited in dentin. Some of the pigmented cells showed dendritic form and were regarded as melanocytes. Furthermore, pigmented cells were frequently distributed in the epithelial component, and melanin pigment was seen in some epithelial cells. Perusal of the English language literature revealed 30 cases of pigmented odontogenic tumors: 18 were calcifying odontogenic cysts, three were ameloblastic fibro-odontomas, three were adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, two were odontomas, one was an ameloblastic fibroma and one was an odontogenic fibroma. However, all of these reported lesions did not show macroscopically visible pigmentation. The possible histogenesis of melanocytes in the odontogenic lesions is discussed, although no firm conclusion could be drawn.
