Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cysts in the oral cavity. The objective of this investigation is to characterize a patient with a mandibular radicular odontogenic cyst. We present an 86-year-old male individual who was treated in the maxillofacial surgery service at "Mártires del 9 de Abril" Provincial General University Hospital in Sagua la Grande from 2017 to 2018. Initially, a corresponding clinical study was performed (interrogation and physical examination), and an evident swelling and cortical bulging was observed in relation to mandibular permanent residual teeth; it was radiographically associated with an extensive ovoid radiolucent image, which justified the performance of first-order incisional biopsies. A surgical procedure was followed, with total resection of the lesion by means of enucleation, and the diagnosis of mandibular radicular odontogenic cyst was confirmed through the histopathological study.
