Abstract
The Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC) represents a heterogeneous group of
lesions that exhibits a variety of clinicopathologic and behavioural features. Therefore a
proper categorization of the cases is needed for better understanding of each variant.
Ameloblastoma is one of the well-known odontogenic tumours that could be associated
with Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst. Very few cases of Ameloblastomatous calcifying
odontogenic cyst have been reported in the literature. In this report we present a case of
ameloblastomatous transformation of calcifying odndontogenic cyst.
