“…In agreement with our findings, studies in the literature report a frequency of 0.1-1% of all odontogenic cysts [2][3][4][5]. According to the literature, the maxilla [3,[20][21][22] and men [2,5,21,23] are most frequently affected. They occur in the first decade of life [5,21,23] and in white individuals [21,22] most frequently.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of 680 odontogenic cysts diagnosed in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil, and to compare results with findings in the literature. Data of odontogenic cysts diagnosed from 1985 to 2005 were collected from the files of the Oral Pathology Laboratory of Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil, and entered in a standardized form for later comparisons. The most prevalent odontogenic cysts were radicular (72.50%), dentigerous (22.20%) and residual (4.26%) cysts. The mandible of white patients was the anatomic site and ethnic group most frequently affected by this disease. Four of the six types of cysts were more frequent in the second and fourth decades of life, and no significant differences were found between sexes in the diagnosis of odontogenic cysts.In conclusion, the prevalence of odontogenic cysts was similar to that reported in the literature, which shows that inflammatory cysts are the most frequent.

“…The pathogenesis of EC is probably similar to that of DC. The difference is that, in EC, the tooth is hampered in breaking through to the surface by the soft tissues of the gingival rather than the bone (6). O'Hara et al (7) reported that chronic administration of cyclosporine to neonatal dogs induced development of EC, which was reversible once the treatment was discontinued; however there are no studies in humans.…”

“…Reports of EC in extreme ages are considered rare. There are two reports of EC in patients aged 40-and 46-year-old (6). ECs are rarely observed in neonates considering that at this stage of the child's life teeth erupting are uncommon.…”

“…The role of histopathology in establishing the final diagnosis is not essential, however, it is important to prevent any misdiagnosis, such as hemangioma, melanoma, unicystic ameloblastoma, keratinizing cystic odontogenic tumor, mucocele, mainly when the treatment is marsupialization or enucleation of the lesion (6).…”

Congenital pathologies are those existing at or dating from birth. Occurrence of congenital cystic lesions in the oral cavity is uncommon in neonates. Eruption cyst (EC) is listed among these unusual lesions. It occurs within the mucosa overlying teeth that are about to erupt and, according to the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification of epithelial cysts of the jaws, EC is a separate entity. This paper presents a case of congenital EC successfully managed by close monitoring of the lesion, without any surgical procedure or tooth extraction. Eruption of the teeth involved, primary central incisors, occurred at the fourth month of age. During this time neither the child nor mother had any complication such as pain on sucking, refusal to feed, airway obstruction, or aspiration of fluids or teeth.
