Abstract:
A calcifying odontogenic cyst associated with a complex odontoma is described. The presence of reduced enamel epithelium showing extensive proliferation accompanied by dentinoid and enameloid formation, and the morphologic connection of the lining epithelium of the cyst with the enamel epithelium, indicate that the possible origin of the cyst is the enamel epithelium of the odontoma.
