Peripheral Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (PCOC) is the extraosseous form of calcifying odontogenic cyst that is limited to peripheral soft tissue without bony involvement. This case report presents a case of PCOC manifested as a progressive growth of gingival mass in a young male treated with excisional biopsy. Histological examination confirmed diagnosis of PCOC with presence of characteristic ghost cells and sporadic calcifications. No recurrence of the lesion and no complication were noted at three-year follow-up. Review of available literature on PCOC noted a predilection of occurrence in the mandible (61%) and in the anterior area of the jaws (58%). Mean age of patients was 41.7 ± SD25.43 (7-83) and 95% CI [33.6, 49.8] yrs. Mean size of the lesions was 1.38 ± SD1.1 (0.5-4.3) and 95% CI [0.93, 1.83] cm. Gender distribution was noted to be 51.3% male and 48.7% female.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic epithelial tumor characterized by the presence of amyloid material within the tumor that can undergo calcification. CEOT affects individuals across a broad age range, typically between 20 and 60 years, with an average onset age of 40 years. However, it is extremely rare in children and adolescents.

Background: Hybrid Odontogenic Tumors (HOT) are defined by the presence of two or more independent odontogenic tumors that originate from and affect the same maxillofacial site.
Methods: The present study is the first case report of a mandibular HOT consisting of Ameloblastoma, Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor, and Ameloblastic Fibroma.
Case Report: A 37-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with the chief complaint of swelling in the right mandibular body.

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.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the expression of hypoxia markers associated with invadopodia in glandular odontogenic cysts and to explore an association between this expression with the aggressive biological behaviour of this odontogenic cyst.
Design: Immunohistochemistry was employed to assess the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), notch homologous protein of the neurogenic locus 1 (NOTCH-1), disintegrin and metalloproteinase-12 (ADAM-12), and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) in 17 samples of glandular odontogenic cysts, 10 samples of calcifying odontogenic cysts, and 10 samples of dental follicles.
Results: The glandular odontogenic cyst samples exhibited increased expression of HIF-1α, NOTCH-1, ADAM-12 and HBEGF proteins compared with calcifying odontogenic cyst and dental follicle samples.

Background: This study aims to analyse the clinical characteristics of different types of odontogenic jawbone cysts (OJCs) and to provide a theoretical basis for prevention and clinical treatment.
Methods: Data from 1,038 patients with OJCs were collected, and relevant information, such as sex, age, clinical symptoms and signs, imaging data, number of lesions, lesion location, pathological diagnosis, clinical treatment and prognosis, was statistically analysed.
Results: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of OJCs in 2022, the highest incidence rate was observed for radicular cysts (RCs), accounting for 58.
