Abstract EN
Primary intraosseous carcinoma of the jaws (PIOSCC) might arise from odontogenic epithelium, more commonly from a previous odontogenic cyst.
The aim of this case is to illustrate that the clinician should consider that an apparent benign dentigerous cyst can suffer malignant transformation and that all material removed from a patient must be evaluated histologically.
A 44-year-old man presented in a routine periapical X-ray an impacted lower left third molar with radiolucency over its crown.
Ten years later, the patient complained of pain in the same region and the tooth was extracted.
After one month, the patient still complained of pain and suffered a fracture of the mandible.
A biopsy was performed and carcinoma was diagnosed.
The patient was treated surgically with adjuvant radio- and chemotherapy and after 8 years, he is well without signs of recurrences.
This report describes a central mandibular carcinoma probably developed from a previous dentigerous cyst.
