Abstract
- Botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is considered a rare multilocular variant of the lateral periodontal cyst. In this report, a 67-year-old male visited with chief complaint of severe mobility on mandibular incisors. Multilocular radiolucent lesion was seen from the right premolar to the left premolar area, involving almost the whole mandible. Histologically, the botryoid odontogenic cyst showed focal nodular thickening of the lining epithelium. These thickening often showed swirling appearance of the cells. Cyst enucleation and bone graft on mandible anterior and both body area were performed under general anesthesia, and postoperative healing was favorable without recurrence.
