Botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is a type of developmental odontogenic cyst that is extremely rare.[1] It is thought to be a lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) variant with a higher risk of recurrence.[2] Weathers and Waldron coined the term BOC in 1973.[3] Adults over the age of 50 are the most affected.[4] BOC appears as a slow-growing lesion that is symptomatic in approximately 70% of cases.[5]
