%X <b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Background: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare pathological entity. It falls into a group of lesions with calcifications that present benign and sometime malignant tumor variants. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Case Presentation: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">In the present study, we report on a case of intraosseous/intrasinusal COC with impacted maxillary canine and dentinoid structures odontoma-like. The clinical, radiographical, histopathological, and molecular characteristics of this pathological entity are discussed in relation also to the problems of differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The true COC is a rare entity in the oral cavity and represents about less than 1% of all odontogenic lesions. Careful clinical, instrumental and histological analysis must be performed for odontogenic cysts in order to accomplish the correct surgical act and to avoid recurrence.
