  • Title: Odontogenic tumors that mimic a dentigerous cyst.
    Author: Sadeghi EM, Sewall SR, Dohse A, Novak TS.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 1995 May; 16(5):500, 502, 504 passim. PubMed ID: 8624989.
    Abstract:
    Hyperplastic follicular tissue and a dentigerous cyst are the two most common entities associated with the crown of an impacted tooth. However, other diagnostic possibilities, including odontogenic tumors should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pericoronal radiolucency. This article presents three cases of radiolucent lesions that were histologically diagnosed as an odontogenic tumor, and stresses the importance of histological evaluation of all pericoronal radiolucencies.
