Lateral periodontal cystlike lesion--a discussion on the so-called botryoid odontogenic cyst.
A case of a so-called botryoid odontogenic cyst is presented. In the discussion the correctness of the terminology and classification of this lesion has been questioned, resulting in a plea for the use of the descriptive term "multicystic odontogenic lesion with histologic features of a lateral periodontal cyst" or, perhaps better "lateral periodontal cystlike lesion".
