case_images: (a) OPG X-ray: unilocular radiolucency surrounding the crown of the impacted second premolar tooth #35, with its crown protruding into the cystis cavity. Border of the cystic lesion is in continuity with lamina dura of the tooth #75. (b) 3D CBCT: cystic lesion in relation to other anatomical structures of the mandible. (c) CBCT: coronal view of the cystic cavity.

case_images: Analysis of the OPG X-ray showed a round radiolucency in the left premolar region of the mandible (Figure 1(a)). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis showed the presence of a sizeable radiolucent lesion, its dimensions being 23.93 mm x 17.24 mm, with the cyst containing the crown of an impacted permanent tooth #35 (Figures 1(b) and 1(c)).
case_images: OPG X-ray taken during routine check-up of the patient, two years prior to the diagnosis of the cyst, showing no signs of pathology in left premolar region of the mandible at the time.
