“…3 Due to the morphologic similarity between the lateral periodontal cyst's epithelial lining, reduced enamel epithelium, and the presence of focal epithelial thickenings similar to that seen in the lining of dentigerous cysts, it has been hypothesized that the source of derivation is the reduced enamel epithelium of an erupting tooth. 4,5 The resemblance between dental lamina rests and the glycogen rich epithelial islands of the lateral periodontal cyst raises the possibility of a dental lamina source. It was noted that the majority of lateral periodontal cysts occur on the facial aspect of the alveolus, a distribution consistent with that of the rests of dental lamina but not the rests of Malassez.…”

“…9,25 Most often Botryoid odontogenic cysts are multilocular 28 , but unilocularity has also been reported. 25,26,27 Botryoid odontogenic cysts are larger than lateral periodontal cysts, ranging between 5mm and 45mm and often extending into the periapical region of involved teeth. 13,25 High et al proposed the term "polymorphic odontogenic cyst" to include lesions like Botryoid odontogenic cysts, glandular odontogenic cysts, and intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma, 19 suggesting with this classification that careful histologic evaluation is necessary to confirm a diagnosis of Botryoid odontogenic cyst and separate it from any of these other possible lesions.…”

“…Another radiolucency is the shadow of the maxillary sinus which may have many variations similar to the LPC. In unusual circumstances a small buccal outpouching of the sinus wall shows a cystlike radiolucency between the tooth roots (1,5). Nutrient canals are obvious in the mandibular periapical radiographs of some individuals.…”

The lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a relatively uncommon but widely recognized odontogenic cyst of developmental origin. It is found mostly in adults and has no sex predilection. LPC is usually discovered during routine radiographic examination, is located mainly between the roots of vital mandibular canines and premolars, and seldom causes pain or other clinical symptoms. The defect appears on radiographs as a round or teardrop-shaped, well circumscribed radiolucency. Due to its location it can easily be misdiagnosed as a lesion of endodontic origin. In this paper, two cases of lateral periodontal cysts are presented. In the first case, the patient (woman, 62 years old) complained of an asymptomatic gingival swelling in the region between the right maxillary canine and premolar. The radiographic examination revealed a well circumscribed radiolucency with a radiopaque margin between the roots of the canine and premolar. The adjacent teeth had vital pulp. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was performed and the histological examination revealed that the lesion was a "lateral periodontal cyst of developmental origin". In the second case, the patient (women, 44 years old) complained of a swelling in the area of tooth 32. During radiographic examination a well circumscribed radiolucency between the roots of the lateral incisor and the canine was discovered. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was performed and the histological examination revealed that the lesion was a "lateral periodontal cyst of developmental origin".

“…LPC and BOC are rather uncommon. LPCs were described in 1958 10 . Since then, more than 270 cases have been documented, and it is assumed that LPCs account for 0.8% of all jaw cysts [11][12][13][14] .…”

SUMMARY -Botryoid cyst, a rare type of odontogenic cyst, is usually considered a multilocular variant of lateral periodontal cyst. It was fi rst described in 1973, and up to the present less than a hundred cases have been reported in the literature. Botryoid cysts are characterized by a multilocular histologic fi nding and a higher risk of recurrence than lateral periodontal cysts. In this article, we present a case of botryoid cyst from our clinical practice, accompanied by literature review of previous cases reported in the literature so far. Study results showed that botryoid cysts mostly aff ected population in their fi fties, with a slight female (53.5%) predominance over males (46.5%). Th e mandible was the most frequently aff ected region, accounting for 70 (83.3%) cases. Maxilla was only sporadically aff ected accounting for 14 (16.7%) cases. Radiographic appearance of botryoid cysts can be multilocular or unilocular. It is concluded that the recurrence rate is relatively high (30.1%), therefore long term follow up is needed.
