Calcifying odontogenic Cyst (COC) has been considering as benign pathological ill and rare occurrence in maxilla and mandible, there been showed odontogenic epithelial cystic lining demonstrating ghost cells with a propensity to calcify. In this article, we described the clinical and histopathological features from case reported who had undergone surgical approach and postoperative follow-up. A 11 year-old-girl had presented volumetric increased in left maxilla area near nasolabial fold. The radiography images had indicated radiolucent lesion, well-circumscribed and wide on cortical maxillary bone, which was undergone enucleation associated with marginal osteotomy on the bone cortical walls. The histopathological features showed cystic lining with odontogenic epithelium containing ghost cells and some areas with eosinophilic matrix material compatible dentinoid. Thus, it was evidenced a clinical features of COC which could be confused with other cystic or tumoral lesions, there being essential on diagnosis and treatment. After clinical and radiographic follow-up during 07 years, there was no recurrence of the COC.
