Abstract

The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), first described by Gorlin et al. in 1962, represents a heterogeneous group of lesions that exhibit a variety of clinicopathologic and behavioral features. COC has been categorized under two basic groups namely, cystic and neoplastic. Even after several classifications and sub-classifications, COC remains an enigma. Very few cases of ameloblastomatous COC have been reported in the literature. In this report, we present a case of ameloblastomatous COC / Gorlin's cyst, emphasizing on the rarity of the lesion and distinguishing it from ameloblastomatous ex COC pictographically.
