Jaw cysts of odontogenic origin constitute a relatively important condition in the cervicofacial region, where radicular cysts are the most frequent. We present a 23-year-old male patient who come to "Celia Sánchez Manduley" Dental Clinic with an extensive residual radicular cyst that occupied his left posterior mandibular area and an increase in volume that caused him a notable facial asymmetry in the left side of his face, of three centimeters in diameter, painless, asymptomatic, with 6 months of evolution and hard consistency; he also mentions a lower molar extraction treatment in area (37) 2 years ago. Periapical and panoramic X-rays were indicated where a well-defined radiolucent zone of 35 to 38 was observed with mesial root resorption of 38, distal of 36 and grade II dental mobility in both teeth. Exeresis of the lesion was performed, whose histological study reported a residual radicular cyst.

Keywords : radicular cyst; actinomycosis, cervicofacial; tooth root.
