LEVANO LOAYZA, Sandro Alexander; CALDERON UBAQUI, Víctor e TREVEJO-BOCANEGRA, Ana Paola. Imaging characterization of the maxillary residual cyst: Case report and review of the literature. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.1, pp.60-65. ISSN 1019-4355. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v31i1.3927.
The residual cyst is a result of remnant periapical inflammatory tissue produced by tooth extraction without a thorough curettage. It mainly affects males and the maxilla. Its diagnosis depends on the clinical, radiographic and histopathological examination findings. The present case aims to report the case of a residual cyst in the anterior region on the maxilla of the oral cavity in an adult patient of the Centro Dental Docente Cayetano Heredia with a history of dental extractions in the lesion area of 10 months ago. An enucleation was performed and a sample was taken for the pathological examination, which subsequently confirmed the diagnosis of residual cyst.
