title: Calcifying odontogenic cyst--Gorlin's cyst--report of two cases.
abstract: The authors present two cases of calcifying odontogenic cysts, which were confirmed by histological examination. In the first case the radiographic findings and clinical status did not indicate the presence of a calcifying odontogenic cyst. In the second case, differential diagnosis included COC. The histopathological findings showed that what appeared to be simple cases of bone translucencies was in fact an unusual odontogenic lesion. The two cases point out the possibility of incorrect assessment of deceptively banal cases in daily specialist practice.
