Primary Intraosseous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Coexisting with a Radicular Cyst: Case Report

Abstract

The term primary intraosseous odontogenic carcinoma (PIOC) has been primarily used to describe a squamous cell carcinoma within the jaws arising either from a previous odontogenic cyst or de novo. Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is a rarely seen malignant lesion in the jaw where there is no relation with soft tissues like the oral mucosa. The incidence of carcinomas arising from odontogenic cysts is particularly uncommon. Case Report: In this case report, an intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma arising from a radicular cyst in a 60-year-old male patient is presented. Conclusion: This case report clearly shows the significance of the clinician’s awareness of a malignant potential of odontogenic cystic lesions and the correct time management of the treatment protocol of those lesions.
