Introduction: The botrioid odontogenic cyst (COB) is a rare variant of the lateral periodontal cyst, corresponding to 0.5% of odontogenic cystic lesions, with the anterior maxilla being affected in only 4% of cases. Malassez remains and reduced enamel epithelium are possible histogenic sources. Most reported cases have shown to present multilocular radiolucency. Methods: This study will present the case report of a COB in the anterior maxilla, presenting unilocular ra- diographic aspect, and surgically treated by curettage-associated enucleation, with 4-year follow-up. Results: The patient presented with 4 years of postoperative without clinical symptoms and no signs of lesion recurrence. Conclusions: The COB may be confused with other cystic modifications. Therefore, biopsy for diagnostic confirmation is essential, and may be associated with definitive treatment through enucleation and curettage.
