Abstract :
Gorlin cysts aka calcifying epithelial
odontogenic cyst (CEOC) is a rather diverse clinical
entity with a wide range of clinical and histopathological
variants, posing a challenge to its accurate diagnosis.
Complicating this, is the fact that most cystic and
neoplastic variants are associated with benign tumors of
the oral cavity, especially, Ameloblastoma. This case
report entails that of a 27 year old male patient, who
reported with complaints of a painful swelling over the
left lower jaw region, and was subsequently diagnosed
preoperatively as a case of CEOC but later on specimen
in Toto histological evaluation revealed areas of
Ameloblastomous changes.
