“…The main symptoms of PIOSCC in the mandible are swelling and pain, followed by paraesthesia of the lower lip (3,8). Due to these symptoms, the lesion tends to be misdiagnosed as infected odontogenic cyst, which may result in inappropriate initial treatment (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). The radiographic appearance is radiolucency demonstrating irregular and noncorticated margins.…”

“…Diagnostic imaging of malignant odontogenic cysts showed irregular borders, buccolingual destruction of cortical bones, and root resorption of the adjacent teeth. The lesion clinically may contribute to pathologic fractures 4) . Imaging findings of the previous 21 cases in addition to our case revealed no apparent characteristics suggesting malignant tumors.…”

Malignant tumors arising from dentigerous cysts are classified as primary squamous cell carcinoma derived from an odontogenic cyst or as odontogenic carcinoma according to the 2005 WHO classification and are extremely rare. We report a malignant tumor arising from a dentigerous cyst in the right maxillary anterior teeth , together with a literature review. The patient was a 75-year-old man who visited a hospital with complaining of discomfort in the lingual part of the right maxillary anterior teeth. On panoramic radiography and plain computed tomography (CT), dentigerous cyst, keratocystic odontogenic tumor or ameloblastoma was suspected. The extirpated material was histopathologically diagnosed as an odontogenic carcinoma (in situ) arising from the dentigerous cyst. Postoperative ultrasonography (US) and contrast enhanced CT revealed no metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes. The patient is currently being followed up without resection or anticancer drug administration. Neither local recurrence nor metastases were observed 18 month after surgery.

“…By definition, a dentigerous cyst is a cyst that surrounds the crown of an impacted or partially erupted tooth and is formed from the reduced enamel epithelium. [1][2][3][4] Microscopically, the dentigerous cyst presents with stratified squamous epithelial layer without formation of rete ridges. 2 The dentigerous cyst frequently presents with a mild to severe diffuse chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate, Russell bodies, and cholesterol clefts.…”
