[Calcifying odontogenic cyst: apropos of 5 cases].
With reference to 5 personal cases involving the mandible 3 times and the lower gum twice, the authors recall the principal characteristics of calcified odontogenic cysts: very little clinical manifestation frequently limited to simple tumefaction, well bounded radiological image with low density, cyst with an epithelial border comprized of calcification and ghost cells. Calcified odontogenic cysts which have a definite morphological likeness to Malherbe's epithelioma, also have the same benigh course as the latter.
