| Summary: | The term residual cyst is used most often for retained radicular cyst from teeth that has been removed. Residual cysts are among most common cysts of the jaws. The location of all odontogenic cysts is usually intraosseous. The peripheral (extraosseous) presentations are rare.

In this article, the role of CT in diagnosing an unusual peripheral presentation of a residual cyst is discussed. |
