- Abstract
Cholesterol deposition is a common phenomenon to be seen associated to an inflammatory response and is usually evident in paranasal sinus, middle ear, and in some cases of mastoid process. Such depositions lead to cleft formations within the tissue, histopathologically seen as cholesterol cleft. Formation of cholesterol clefts is an usual phenomenon in the jaw related to inflammatory cysts such as radicular cyst but this is rarely seen in other odontogenic cysts, in particular the dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst. So, here we present a rare case of cholesterol clefts in the wall of a dentigerous cyst.
