“…Dentigerous cysts are commonly seen in mandibular third molars, maxillary canines, and mandibular premolars, and they rarely involve deciduous teeth. The bilateral presence of this cyst is very rare and is associated with Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, mucopolysaccharidosis, cleidocranial dysplasia, and the long-term consumption of cyclosporine and calcium channel blockers [4]. The cystic cavity is lined with the epithelial cells derived from the reduced enamel epithelium of the tooth-forming organ.…”

A dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst, associated with the crown of an impacted or unerupted tooth. The occurrence of bilateral dentigerous cysts is uncommon among the odontogenic cysts of the jaw, as they are usually solitary. Multiple cysts, when reported, are generally associated with syndromes such as cleidocranial dysplasia, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, and systemic diseases like mucopolysaccharidosis. This article presents a case of bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts in a nonsyndromic patient, along with a review of the literature and an examination of the treatment modality.

“…In general, the lesions mentioned in Table 1 are commonly identified as radiographic findings. However, they are usually solitary and unilateral, and observing these types of lesions in either multiple and/or bilateral form, except for odontogenic keratocysts and lesions associated with genetic disorders, is rare [1][2][3][4]. Pericoronal radiolucencies are often detected when patients undergo radiologic evaluation as a result of unerupted teeth, and in many cases the proposed diagnostic probability is "multiple dentigerous cysts" [5,6].…”

“…Pericoronal radiolucencies are often detected when patients undergo radiologic evaluation as a result of unerupted teeth, and in many cases the proposed diagnostic probability is "multiple dentigerous cysts" [5,6]. In practice, this possibility is unlikely, since cases of multiple dentigerous cysts are particularly infrequent [1,2,4], in addition, as Table 1 refers, there is a wide variety of lesions that, similarly to dentigerous cysts, could present as pericoronal lesions. In this sense, although multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicles (MCHDF) are rare, they have a consistent phenotypic pattern.…”

Multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicles: a major diagnostic consideration in multiple pericoronal lesions - report of two cases

et al. 2020

Background: Pericoronal radiolucent lesions are a common radiographic finding, but it is rare that they occur in multiple forms. Multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicles (MCHDF) are entities with few cases described to date; nevertheless, they appear to have a very particular phenotypic pattern. Cases presentation: Case 1: A 10-year-old male was evaluated radiographically, revealing four impacted canines, each accompanied by unilocular pericoronal radiolucency. Case 2: A 16-year-old male was planning orthodontic treatment; following his radiological evaluation all third molars were found to be accompanied with pericoronal radiolucencies. Enucleation, and third molar removal along with the pericoronal tissue were the respective treatments. Microscopically, in both cases, the specimens shown odontogenic epithelium, and type I and II calcifications in the hyperplastic follicles, all these characteristics were consistent with MCHDF. Conclusion: Although MCHDF are a rare entity, they must be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple pericoronal lesions. Under the light of the current evidence, the histological findings may be relatively heterogeneous, but their integration with both the clinical data, which are apparently particular, and with the radiographic characteristics, can lead to a definitive diagnosis.

Bilateral dentigerous cyst in patients with no syndrome diagnosis is rare. Only 20 cases are published, to our knowledge. Here, a 6 years old child with a previous adrenal tumor diagnosis at 2yo and surgically treated at 4yo presented at our outpatient clinic in a quaternary children's hospital with a painless mandibular bone expansion on both sides. Physical and tomographic assessments suggested odontogenic cysts. Due to continuous hormone therapy with hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone, excisional biopsies were performed. Teeth associated with the cysts were removed to avoid postoperative infections. The patient had an uneventful follow-up and no recurrence signs. This case report reveals a potent focus of oral infections in an immunosuppressed patient. In these cases, the multidisciplinary approach is necessary.
