title: [A radiolucency between the roots of 2 vital teeth].
abstract: An asymptomatic radiolucency between a vital 44 and 45 was detected in a 64-year-old woman. Treatment consisted of enucleation. Histopathologically, the features of a lateral periodontal cyst were observed. The lateral periodontal cyst is a rather rare developmental odontogenic cyst that has a tendency to recur after incomplete removal.
