The case describes a 38‐year‐old woman presenting a multilocular radiolucency affecting the entire right half of the lower jaw, with an unerupted third molar displaced to the region of the coronoid process. The histological study showed the presence of fibroblasts, focally with pleomorphic nuclei, dense collagen and an odontogenic epithelium with dystrophic calcifications. A cyst with an important inflammatory infiltrate was, moreover, observed.
