【 摘 要 】

Dentigerous cysts, also known as follicular cyst, are the most common developmental cysts of the jaws. It is the cystic degeneration of the enamel organ after the formation of tooth but before its eruption. Hence, it is frequently associated with crown of impacted tooth. Dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cyst and the most common developmental odontogenic cyst. We report a case of dentigerous cyst with angiomatous changes in an 11-year-old male. The patient complained of swelling in the upper left buccal region. Radiographically well-defined cystic lesion was noted in relation to a left impacted molar tooth. In this report, we discuss the radiological findings including the embolization of the vascular component which was very helpful in the surgical management of the patient. The cyst was enucleated with the removal of the impacted tooth. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of dentigerous cyst associated with angiomatous changes possibly revealing the process of angiomatous transformation. The patient remained asymptomatic, and no complications were noted.
