The radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst and is caused by inflammation. It can become atypically large, although the size of the radiographic osteolysis says nothing about the entity of the lesion. This case shows an unusually large multilocular radicular cyst expanding buccally from tooth 46 in a patient with severe autism who can only be tre ated under general anesthesia. The clinical and radiological picture as well as the intraoperative situation was more indi cative of an aggressive cyst or benign tumor. The lesion
was surgically completely removed and the teeth 46, 47 and 48 were extracted because of poor compliance and prognosis. Histopathology revealed a radicular cyst. There were no postoperative complications. After eight months, the lesions had almost completely reossified.
