Case Details A 55-year-old male patient reported with a chief complaint of pain and swelling in the left mandibular posterior region. {Figure 5} Discussion The epithelial lining of the odontogenic cysts has potential to undergo metaplasia or dysplastic changes or malignancies such as squamous cell carcinoma or mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
