Background.
A radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst of inflammatory origin.
Radiographically, it commonly demonstrates clear unilocular radiolucency; radicular cysts with multilocular radiolucency are quite rare.
Case Presentation.
A 64-year-old Japanese man who presented with a bilocular radiolucent lesion in his left mandible was referred by a dental clinic to our oral and maxillofacial surgery department.
He had no particular subjective symptoms.
Orthopantomography and computed tomography (CT) revealed an 18 mm×15 mm lesion with well-defined bilocular radiolucency in the left mandible expanding from the distal side of a canine tooth to the bottom of the 2nd premolar.
The lesion included the roots of the 1st and 2nd premolars.
The root of the 2nd premolar showed knife-edge resorption.
Although the 1st premolar was nonvital, the 2nd premolar was a vital tooth.
As differential diagnoses, a radicular cyst, ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst, pseudocyst, and others might be considered.
We performed a total resection of the bilocular lesion and diagnosed the lesion as a radicular cyst with tooth structure components inside.
The tooth structure components represented lamellar structures of cementum; they were located only in the proximal part (under the 1st premolar) of the lesion.
The distal part of the lesion presented distinctive inflammation without tooth structure components.
Conclusion.
We encountered a rare case of a bilocular radicular cyst with tooth structure components inside.
