Abstract
Resumen: El quiste paradental inflamatorio (QPI) es una lesión odontogénica poco frecuente que suele estar asociada a terceros molares mandibulares parcialmente erupcionados o impactados. Radiográficamente, se presenta como una imagen radiolúcida bien delimitada, y clínicamente puede confundirse con un quiste dentígero. Este artículo presenta el caso de una paciente de 18 años con un tercer molar inferior en posición horizontal, sintomática, con diagnóstico histopatológico confirmado de QPI. Se discuten las características clínicas, radiográficas e histológicas, así como la importancia del diagnóstico diferencial precoz para un manejo adecuado.
Abstract: Inflammatory paradental cyst (IPC) is a rare odontogenic lesion usually associated with partially erupted or impacted mandibular third molars. Radiographically, it presents as a well-circumscribed radiolucent image and can be clinically confused with a dentigerous cyst. This article presents the case of an 18-year-old patient with a symptomatic, horizontally positioned mandibular third molar, with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of IPC. The clinical, radiographic, and histological features are discussed, as well as the importance of early differential diagnosis for appropriate management.
