Review
This article reviews a myriad of common and uncommon odontogenic cysts and tumors. The clinical presentation, gross and microscopic features, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and diagnostic pitfalls are addressed for inflammatory cysts (periapical cyst, mandibular infected buccal cyst/paradental cyst), developmental cysts (dentigerous, lateral periodontal, glandular odontogenic, orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst), benign tumors (keratocystic odontogenic tumor, ameloblastoma, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, ameloblastic fibroma and fibroodontoma, odontoma, squamous odontogenic tumor, calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor, primordial odontogenic tumor, central odontogenic fibroma, and odontogenic myxomas), and malignant tumors (clear cell odontogenic carcinoma, ameloblastic carcinoma, ameloblastic fibrosarcoma).

The lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a harmless developmental aberration derived from odontogenic epithelia lying between the roots of vital teeth. The exact histogenesis of LPC is a matter of debate but therapy is usually only required to maintain stable periodontal conditions and in case of evidence for growth of the cyst. We report on a case of LPC where successful surgical therapy had initialized osseous restoration. We further discuss the value of histological findings to substantiate a clinical and radiological diagnosis.

Review
The lateral periodontal cyst is a rare odontogenic cyst of developmental origin. It occurs on the lateral periodontal region of a vital tooth and has specific histologic features. In this paper a case of a lateral periodontal cyst is presented and cases previously reported in the literature are reviewed. The present case concerns a 50-year old woman who presented for an asymptomatic gingival swelling of the left canine mandibular region of 2 month's duration. X-ray examination showed a well circumscribed radiolucency with a radiopaque margin lying between the roots of the lateral incisor and canine. The associated teeth were vital. Enucleation of the lesion was performed. The histologic examination of the specimen showed a cyst lined by thin non-keratinized epithelium with focal thickenings containing clear cells.

The bilateral lateral periodontal cyst is a rare nasological entity, which despite clinical and radiological presentation is being diagnosed by histological characteristics. It is asymptomatic in nature and is observed in routine radiography. The aim and objective of this article is to present a rare case of bilateral lateral periodontal cyst in a 14-year-old child. The clinical and radiographical findings, along with its management have been discussed. Enucleation of bilateral cyst without extraction of the adjacent tooth was performed. Lesion samples were sent for histopathological analysis. The histopathological analysis revealed a thin, non keratinised stratified squamous epithelium resembling reduced enamel epithelium. Epithelial plaques were also seen. A clinicopathological correlation incorporating the surgical, radiographical and gold standard histopathological findings was obtained to suggest the final diagnosis of the bilateral lateral periodontal cyst.

Review
BACKGROUND
As the lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is an unusual odontogenic cyst, most papers are single case reports or series with a limited number of cases, with few large series. The aim of this study is to report an additional case of LPC, emphasizing the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features, differential diagnosis, and review of 264 cases reported in the English-language literature.
CASE REPORT
A 51-year-old male patient presented with a well-delimited, radiolucent, mandibular lesion, located between the roots of the right lower lateral incisor and canine and evidenced during routine radiographic examination. A surgical excision was performed. Microscopically, there was a cystic cavity lined by simple squamous epithelium, compatible with LPC.
DISCUSSION
LPC is an unusual odontogenic cyst and presents a marked predilection for occurring in the mandible between the roots of canines and premolars. Accurate clinical and imaging exams should be performed for a correct approach and diagnosis.

Review
The lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a relatively uncommon but widely recognized odontogenic cyst of developmental origin. It is found mostly in adults and has no sex predilection. LPC is usually discovered during routine radiographic examination, is located mainly between the roots of vital mandibular canines and premolars, and seldom causes pain or other clinical symptoms. The defect appears on radiographs as a round or teardrop-shaped, well circumscribed radiolucency. Due to its location it can easily be misdiagnosed as a lesion of endodontic origin. In this paper, two cases of lateral periodontal cysts are presented. In the first case, the patient (woman, 62 years old) complained of an asymptomatic gingival swelling in the region between the right maxillary canine and premolar. The radiographic examination revealed a well circumscribed radiolucency with a radiopaque margin between the roots of the canine and premolar. The adjacent teeth had vital pulp. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was performed and the histological examination revealed that the lesion was a "lateral periodontal cyst of developmental origin". In the second case, the patient (women, 44 years old) complained of a swelling in the area of tooth 32. During radiographic examination a well circumscribed radiolucency between the roots of the lateral incisor and the canine was discovered. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was performed and the histological examination revealed that the lesion was a "lateral periodontal cyst of developmental origin".
