| Summary: | Radicular cysts are the most often documented inflammatory cysts in the adult population, although their incidence in children is regarded as unusual. This study presents a 12-year-old female patient, who had an asymptomatic radicular cyst along with a retained and decayed deciduous tooth in the left posterior mandibular area, the cyst. The patient underwent cystic enucleation after a clinical and radiographic evaluation which led to a provisional diagnosis that was corroborated by the histological findings. In this article, the differential diagnosis and treatment of a radicular cyst in a pediatric patient is discussed. |
