Abstract : Gorlin cysts aka calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst (CEOC) is a rather diverse clinical entity with a wide range of clinical and histopathological variants, posing a challenge to its accurate diagnosis. Complicating this, is the fact that most cystic and neoplastic variants are associated with benign tumors of the oral cavity, especially, Ameloblastoma. This case report entails that of a 27 year old male patient, who reported with complaints of a painful swelling over the left lower jaw region, and was subsequently diagnosed preoperatively as a case of CEOC but later on specimen in Toto histological evaluation revealed areas of Ameloblastomous changes.

Keywords : Ameloblastoma, Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Cyst (CEOC) Calcifying Cystic Odontogenic Tumor (CCOT), Enucleation, Gorlins Cyst.
