Özet

The dentigerous cyst is a malformation derived from deciduous and/or permanent teeth follicle and cell rests in the dental lamina. Its histopathogenesis is not entirely known. In cattle, bilaterally symmetrical dentigerous cysts are described in both mandibular and maxillary regions. In this case, the macroscopic and histopathological traits of an odontogenic dentigerous cyst in a 5-day-old female Holstein calf, which developed in the left ventral mandible and included two erupted deciduous teeth and clear fluid, was described.
