Multilocular Variant of Lateral Periodontal Cyst: A Report of a Classical Occurrence.

Dr. Shatakshi Sharma

Abstract :

The lateral periodontal cyst is described as an odontogenic cyst of developmental origin with an unusual nature of occurrence. Mostly, it is primarily diagnosed through a routine radiographic investigation and presents as well circumscribed radiolucent lesion that is in most of the cases either round or teardrop–shaped. In majority of the cases in can be easily misdiagnosed as an endodontic lesion, mainly attributed to its location. Definite diagnosis should therefore be given after carrying out a histopathological investigation. The primary purpose of our writing is to present a report on a classical case of lateral periodontal cyst with an occurrence in the mandibular left posterior to describe in particular the clinico–radio–pathological features of this odontogenic entity. An twenty–eight years old female patient reported to the clinic, complaining chiefly of an asymptomatic swelling in the left posterior mandible extending from the disto–lateral aspect of the root of first premolar to second molar region with a history of extraction in the past in the same region. Radiological investigation disclosed a well circumscribed multilocular radiolucent lesion with an approximate dimension of 3cm x 2cm with a radiopaque margin. The area associated with the lesion was edentulous and the corresponding tooth was vital. The intraoral examination showed a single lesion with no communication between the cystic cavity and rima oris. A total enucleation surgical procedure of the mandibular multilocular lesion was carried out. Histopathological investigations identified the lesion to be a “Multilocular variant of lateral periodontal cyst of developmental origin”. There was no further recurrence or complications reported for 12 months of recall and follow–up.
