Abstract
Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a unique odontogenic lesion
with combined features of a cyst and neoplasm. This lesion shows a
great diversity in its clinicopathological behavior. It may become
aggressive and rarely malignant. This case is an aggressive COC of
the maxilla in a young male patient which recurred after several radical
surgical excisions. Eventually invading the cranium, the lesion
neither responded to surgical excision nor to radiotherapy
