Abstract
Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PISCC) associated with an odontogenic cyst (OCC) is a malignant odontogenic tumor that occurs infrequently and exclusively in the maxillary bones. It affects middle-aged people, mainly men, and is usually located in the posterior area of the mandible. Clinically it can present the classic characteristics of a benign odontogenic tumor, although it can also be associated with painful symptomatology and alterations in sensitivity. A case is presented of 65-year-old man diagnosed with CCEIP associated with an OCC. The clinical, radiological and histological characteristics are described, taking into account the importance of taking a biopsy of a cystic lesion characterized by affecting areas of the maxillary bones.
