    Author: Olson JW, Miller RL, Kushner GM, Vest TM.
    Journal: J Periodontol; 2000 Aug; 71(8):1365-70. PubMed ID: 10972654.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes an unusual odontogenic carcinoma, which was detected during routine periodontal examination. The lesion occurred in a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted third molar in an otherwise asymptomatic 66-year-old male patient. The impacted tooth and lesion were excised based on evidence of radiographic change and clinical findings. An unusual histopathologic presentation is reported. The treatment provided for this tumor and the management of impacted teeth is reviewed.
