TL;DR
This paper discusses how calcifications in Gorlin's cyst help diagnose and treat a benign jaw tumor.
Contribution
The study emphasizes the importance of calcification patterns in diagnosing Gorlin's cyst using imaging.
Findings
Gorlin's cyst appears as a well-limited osteolytic image with peripheral calcifications in imaging.
Recognizing these radiological features is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Abstract
Calcified odontogenic epithelial cyst known as Gorlin's cyst is one of the benign odontogenic tumors of the maxillae. In imaging, the most revealing aspect is a well‐limited osteolytic image with peripheral calcifications. The aim of the study was to highlight these radiological features to establish the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
