title: The radiological features of calcifying odontogenic cyst.
abstract: Calcifying odontogenic cyst is a rare benign lesion of the jaws, with no particular specificity for age, sex or site. Three new cases are presented together with a review of the radiological literature. There appear to be no pathognomonic radiological features, although a superficial location on the affected bone and the presence of internal calcification may be useful signs. The role of radiology appears to be limited to determining lesion extent prior to surgery.
