Abstract

The botryoid odontogenic cyst is a rare asymptomatic lesion characterized by its typical multilocular aspect similar to a bunch of grapes commonly affecting the mandible bicuspids and canine region. The possibility of this lesion representing a clinical variation of the lateral periodontal cyst is source of discussion and doubt among many authors. Our article reports a rare case of the polemic odontogenic cyst and presents considerations related to its etiopathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.O cisto odontogênico botrióide é uma lesão rara caracterizada pelo aspecto multilocular típico semelhante a um cacho de uvas. A possibilidade de essa lesão representar uma variante clínica do cisto periodontal lateral é fonte de discussão e indefinição entre diversos autores. O presente trabalho relata um caso desse polêmico cisto odontogênico e apresenta considerações relacionadas aos seus aspectos etiopatogênicos, diagnósticos e terapêuticos.
