- Abstract
Dentigerous cysts occur infrequently in dogs and they should be a primary consideration in young dogs presented with oral swelling in the edentulous area. They are even less common in cats compared to dogs. Classification of lesions in animals is not very different from those described in humans. Dentigerous cysts are most frequently seen affecting the mandibular first premolar area with unerupted mandibular first premolar teeth. This report describes the clinical case of a four-year-old female Slovakian Chuvach that suffered from long-term difficulties associated with epistaxis and swelling of the facial area. Computed tomography revealed a cyst-like structure associated with an intra-nasal canine, prompting the suspected diagnosis of an odontogenic cyst. Histopathological examination of tissues obtained during the subsequent surgical procedure confirmed the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst.
