Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst Mimicking Lateral Periodontal Cyst: A Rare Maxillary Case with 1-Year Follow-Up
Introduction Odontogenic cysts are among the most frequent pathological entities in the maxillofacial region. They are typically classified as developmental or inflammatory, with common variants including periapical, dentigerous, and periodontal cysts. Among periodontal cysts, the lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a relatively uncommon lesion, accounting for about 0.4% of odontogenic cysts in adults over three…

Rare Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst Mimicking Lateral Periodontal Cyst: A 1-Year Follow-Up
Introduction Odontogenic cysts are common maxillofacial lesions, typically classified as developmental or inflammatory. Among these, lateral periodontal cysts (LPC) are uncommon and arise from the periodontal ligament around erupted teeth. Calcifying odontogenic cysts (COC), by contrast, are rare cystic lesions that can mimic other entities like LPC due to overlapping clinical and radiographic features. This…

Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst Mimicking Lateral Periodontal Cyst: A Rare Case with 1-Year Follow-Up
Introduction Odontogenic cysts are among the most common pathological entities in the maxillofacial region. While lateral periodontal cysts (LPC) are relatively rare, calcifying odontogenic cysts (COC) are even less frequent but pose a diagnostic challenge when they arise in periodontal tissues. This case report details a rare maxillary anterior COC that initially mimicked LPC in…
