| Sumario: | Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC) is a rare pathology that affects both sexes in equal proportions, without clear preference for maxilla or mandible. It is frequently seen in association with teeth included, as well as shares certain particularly radiological features with other diseases. The present case deals with the management of a 16-year-old male patient treated at the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico, asymptomatic, with a jaw injury of important dimensions, radiographically presented a radiolucent lesion of approximately 4 cm, defined edges, covers from distal of the 2nd molar to the angle and part of the mandibular branch on the left side. It required a wide approach that allows the treatment of the lesion while simultaneously preventing an associated pathologic fracture. The treatment should also cover the possibility of a more aggressive ameloblastoma type lesion than the histopathological diagnosis did not rule out completely. The patient at 8 months of follow-up had a favorable evolution without clinical or radiographic evidence of recurrence, with adequate function and aesthetics. |
