Abstract

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.
