CALCIFYING EPITHELIAL ODONTOGENIC CYST OF THE MAXILLARY SINUS

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst is an uncommon benign lesion. The cyst may sometimes be associated with benign odontogenic tumors. The lesion mostly effects patients under the age of 40 and occurs both in the mandible and maxilla. Involvement of the maxillary antrum seems to be a rare occurrence.
