The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), first described by Gorlin et al. in 1962, represents a heterogeneous group of lesions that exhibit a variety of clinicopathologic and behavioral features. COC has been categorized under two basic groups namely, cystic and neoplastic. Even after several classifications and sub-classifications, COC remains an enigma. Very few cases of ameloblastomatous COC have been reported in the literature. In this report, we present a case of ameloblastomatous COC / Gorlin's cyst, emphasizing on the rarity of the lesion and distinguishing it from ameloblastomatous ex COC pictographically.

A calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a cystic lesion originating from odontogenic epithelium, exhibiting ameloblastomatous features and containing focal accumulations of ghost cells. The standard treatment for COC typically involves enucleation followed by surgical curettage. However, if the cyst is large or closely associated with anatomical structures, decompression may be considered as a preliminary step before enucleation.

Ameloblastomatous calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a very rare histopathological variant of COC, which is an odontogenic cyst of the jaw. The term "calcifying odontogenic cyst" is not covered in the World Health Organisation (WHO) Classification of Tumors 2005 and was re-named as calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour (CCOT). There are only a few reports containing details on CCOT being associated with ameloblastoma.

BACKGROUND Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare, locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm, considered as a solid variant of the calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC). DGCT accounts for only 2% to 14% of all COCs and less than 0.5% of all odontogenic tumors.

Calcifying odontogenic cysts (COCs) represent a heterogeneous group of lesions that exhibits a variety of clinical, behavioral, and histological features. COC or Gorlin's cyst is now classified by the World Health Organization as a tumor. Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) is an uncommon developmental odontogenic lesion that demonstrates histopathologic diversity.

Introduction: Ameloblastomatous calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is an extremely rare histopathologic variant of COC, an odontogenic cyst of the jaws. It needs to be differentiated from closely associated variant ameloblastoma ex COC that is entitled to a more aggressive form of surgical management.
Aim: The aim of this paper is to present a case of ameloblastomatous COC of the right mandibular angle region with review of literature describing this rare entity.
