Abstract
Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), or Gorlin cyst, is a rare developmental lesion constituting <1% of odontogenic cysts and characterized by ghost cells with variable calcification1. Its diverse biological behaviour and clinicopathologic features lead to uncertainty and ambiguity in nomenclature and classification2. This report presents two cases: a 12-year-old female and a 17-year-old male with pain and mild swelling in the maxillary anterior region. Radiographic and histopathological findings confirmed COC in both patients, each linked to unerupted or supernumerary teeth. Surgical enucleation resulted in uneventful healing. These cases emphasize the importance of integrating clinical, radiographic, and microscopic findings for accurate diagnosis.
