Abstract

A case of calcifying odontogenic cyst that appeared in the maxilla of a 13-year-old boy is reported. Radiographic findings showed well-demarcated radiolucent area in which specks of radiopacities were seen. Histopathological findings were characterized by the presence of ghost cells and calcifying tissues on the epithelial layer of the cyst wall. There is no evidence of recurrence one year after the surgical removal of the cyst.
