“…The reason as to why third molars are ectopically placed is still unclear. However, ectopic eruption may result owing to one of the following 3 processes: developmental disturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst (Buyukkurt et al, 2010;Shivashankara et al, 2012;Lambade et al, 2013).…”

“…The mandible is likely to be the primarily affected site, as cysts are located in the mandible in 75 % of the cases (Ustuner et al, 2003). These cysts most commonly arise from mandibular third molars, followed by maxillary third molars and maxillary canines (Kocer et al, 2002;Buyukkurt et al, 2010). Clinical examinations reveal a missing tooth or teeth and an asymptomatic swelling that sometimes results in facial asymmetry and possible pathologic fracture (Kocer et al, 2002;McCrea, 2009).…”

“…Clinical examinations reveal a missing tooth or teeth and an asymptomatic swelling that sometimes results in facial asymmetry and possible pathologic fracture (Kocer et al, 2002;McCrea, 2009). Dentigerous cysts surrounding impacted teeth often displace these teeth into ectopic positions (McCrea, 2009;Buyukkurt et al, 2010). The degree of displacement may be dramatic.…”

“…The standard treatment for a dentigerous cyst is enucleation and extraction of the tooth involved (Martinez-Perez and Varela-Morales, 2001;Kocer et al, 2002;Buyukkurt et al, 2010;Bowman et al, 2014). In large cysts, an initial marsupialization to diminish the size of the osseous defect followed by enucleation and tooth extraction has been advocated (Martinez-Perez and Varela-Morales, 2001).…”

Dentigerous cysts associated with an ectopic third molar in the subcondylar area are fairly rare, and information is limited about its causes and characteristics. This article reports a case of dentigerous cysts associated with an ectopic third molar in the subcondylar and reviews the literature on the clinical signs and symptoms and different treatment methods of this condition. We report a case dentigerous cyst associated with an ectopic mandibular third molar in the subcondylar area. 14 cases of dentigerous cysts associated with an ectopic third molar in the subcondylar area reported in the English-language literature over the past 30 years, identified from Medline databases are also reviewed. We found a mean age at diagnosis of 48.1 years and a higher prevalence in women. Facial pain and swelling on the preauricular region or ipsilateral side of the mandible were the most common symptoms. Among the 14 case reports identified, 7 were by an extraoral approach and 7 were by an intraoral approach. The most commonly used extra-oral approaches are retromandibular. The etiology of ectopic mandibular third molars has not yet been completely clarified. They must be removed if they cause symptoms or are associated with cystic pathology. The treatment of third molars in the condylar region is divided into conservative and, in most cases, surgical removal by intra or extra-oral route. The surgical approach must be carefully planned according to the location and position of ectopic third molars.

“…Dentigerous cysts arising from supernumerary teeth are fairly rare and constitute only 5-6% of all with majority arising from maxillary tooth [3]. Only 20 cases of dentigerous cyst arising from ectopic tooth in maxillary antrum have been reported in medline from 1980 [4,5]. Rarely, the dentigerous cyst may transform in to unicystic ameloblastoma producing pathological fracture or in to squamous cell or mucoepidermoid carcinoma secondary to chronic infection [6][7][8][9] mandating thorough histopathological examination of excised lesion.…”

Dentigerous cysts are commonest type of developmental, epithelial-lined, odontogenic cysts arising in the jaw from the crowns of impacted, unerupted or embedded tooth, most often third molar. But dentigerous cysts arising from ectopic tooth in maxillary sinus is quite rare. Ameloblastoma changes in the dentigerous cysts are rare and to the best of our knowledge have not been reported to be arising from ectopic tooth in maxillary antrum. In this article, we present the radiological diagnosis, clinical features and management of this rare case of ameloblastic transformation in dentigerous cyst arising from ectopic tooth in maxillary antrum.
