The lesion presents as an array of varied radiographic and clinicopathological characteristics and biological attributes and exists in three histomorphologic patterns \u2013 benign cystic, solid (neoplastic) and aggressive (malignant) forms. Thus, several nomenclatures and classifications have been put forth to explain the nature of the clinical entity. However, ambiguities regarding the exact nature of the lesion still prevail. Due to nonspecific clinicoradiographic features, histopathological interpretation remains the key for diagnosis. We report an uncommon occurrence of COC in a 13-year-old female who reported to our Outpatient Department with an asymptomatic right midfacial swelling. The clinical and radiographic findings were suggestive of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor and dentigerous cyst. The decision to enucleate the lesion was considered, and histopathological features were compatible with the diagnosis of COC. Re-ossification with no recurrence was noticed after a 1-year follow-up. COC is an unusual developmental odontogenic cyst that clinically and radiologically simulates other more common jaw entities. Thorough knowledge of the bizarre presentation and biological attributes of such lesions are imperative for an early diagnosis and definitive treatment. Long-term follow-up is advocated to prevent recurrences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_358_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,31]],"date-time":"2022-03-31T00:46:43Z","timestamp":1648687603000},"page":"131-131","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Calcifying odontogenic cyst: Report of an uncommon entity with a brief literature review"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Syed Ansar","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepika Bablani","family":"Popli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology, Faculty of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keya","family":"Sircar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology, Faculty of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shamimul","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20250525","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"751","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(75)90444-2","article-title":"The calcifying odontogenic cyst.
