Calcifying odontogenic cyst(COC) is comparatively rare in occurrence. COC represents about 1% of jaw cysts, and although it may occur in soft tissue, it is most commonly found within bone. Both the intraosseous and extraosseous forms occur with about equal frequency in the maxilla and mandible, mainly in the incisor and canine areas The most notable features of this pathologic entity are histopathological and include a cyst lining demonstrating characteristic "ghost" epithelial cells with a propensity to calcify and the occasional association of this finding with certain odontogenic tumors including the odontoma and the ameloblastoma. In this case, COC was associated with anterior wall of the maxillary sinus which appeared in the anterior maxilla of 64-year-old woman, was reported. We report that the clinical experience of COC with review of literatures.

Common radiographic appearances of ossifying fibroma (OF) are well demarcated margin, radiolucent or mixed lesion. Lesions for the radiographic differential diagnosis with OF include fibrous dysplasia, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia. Other confusing lesions might be the mixed lesions such as calcifying odontogenic cyst, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, and benign cementoblastoma. We reported three cases of OF in posterior mandible. These cases showed a little distinguished radiographic features of OF and diagnosed from a combination of clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic information. We need to further refine radiographic and histopathological features of OF and other confusing lesions with literatures review because some cases of these lesions are not easily differentiated radiographically and histopathologically.

Pilomatricoma is a well defind and characteristic entity histologically, but this tumor may be encountered during aspiration biopsy of subcutaneous mass, and is, occasionally, confused with other neoplasms, particularly squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and epidermal inclusion cyst. Recently, we have experienced a case of pilomatricoma diagnosed by aspiration biosy. The smear of the aspirate revealed anucleated "ghost" squamous cells, basaloid or basophilic squamous cells and nucleated squamous cells, which lack nuclear features of malignacy. These findings are consistent with pilomatricoma.

This report describes a 31-year-old female patient with six impacted teeth. The crowns of the impacted teeth were surrounded with cyst-like lesions with a mixed internal structure and well-defined cortical borders. Microscopic examination of the specimen obtained from the follicle of the left mandibular third molar tooth revealed loose to moderately dense collagenous connective tissue with abundant calcified material and sparse epithelial islands. A diagnosis of multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicles was made.

The calcifying odontogenic cyst(COC) is considered to occupy a position between a cyst and an odontogenic tumor-having charateristics of both. Gorlin and col. described the COC for first time as an own pathological entity in 1962. Clinically, the COC represents 1% of the odontogenic lesion. It is possible to be found from the first decade to the eight decade but is more frequent during the second decade. It affects in same proportion the maxilla and jaw, being the most in tooth-bearing area of the jaw. This case of COC associated with an unerupted tooth which appeared in the right mandible of 22-year-old woman, was reported. This case report is to present a review of the literature relates to this case of COC and its treatment, discuss clinical, radiographic, histological and therapeutic aspects.

좌측 상악 구치부와 협부의 무통성 종창을 주소로 내원한 16세 여자의 좌측 상악동에서 다량의 석회화 침착과 미맹출지를 포항한 COC 1예를 구내 접근법을 통해 외과적으로 제거하였다. 적출물은 $50{\times}40{\times}35mm$의 크기였고 낭종벽으로 잘 피낭되어 있었다. 조직학적으로는 잘 발달된 상피 내벽과 ghost cell이 나타나 COC의 소견을 보였으며 석회화물은 complex odontoma의 양상을 보여 COC의 type IB로 분류되었다. 술후 1년이 지난 현재 안모의 개선을 나타내고 있으며 재발의 증상 없이 양호한 경과를 보여주고 있다.

평소 복부 팽만을 보인 2세 남아가 내원 3일 전부터 간헐적인 구토를 동반하여 시행한 복부 방사선 사진에서 좌상복부에서 석회화 소견을 관찰하여 상부 위장관내시경과 복부 전산화 단층 사진을 시행하였다. 술 후 병리 검사에서 상당히 빈도가 드문 석회화 섬유 종양을 발견하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

A calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) was first described as a separate entity in 1955 by Pindborg, and has since been referred to as Pindborg tumor. CEOT is characterized by the presence of squamous-cell proliferation, calcification and amyloid deposits, and accounts for only 1% of all odontogenic tumors. CEOT is a benign, though occasional locally invasive, slow-growing neoplasm. It is located either intraosseously or extraosseously, and is usually associated with an unerupted permanent tooth. A 24 year-old female visited our clinic, presenting with a palatal swelling and intra-oral ulcer. After an incisional biopsy, the lesion was confirmed to be odontogenic tumor. A tumor resection and reconstruction surgery with tongue flap were performed.
