An interesting case of a 13 year-old girl comes to Maxillofacial Surgery consultation because she has facial and buccal asymmetry; she also refers diplopia and nasal obstruction on the side of the deformity. After carrying out laboratory exams, radiographic studies and computerized axial tomography (TAC), she was taken to the operating room to receive an extraction of the third left superior molar retained in inverted position, and to have retrieved the extensive rays- X radiolucid and radiopaque area at tomography and later on she underwent a histopathological study. The definitive diagnosis corroborated the presumption of dentition cyst. The patient evolved in an excellent way; her facial deformity and other preoperative symptoms disappeared.Downloads
