Introdouction: Dentigerous cyst is a benign developmental lesion of the jaw. It is most commonly occurs during the second and third decades of life and has rarely been reported in association with a deciduous tooth. We report a case of two-year old girl who presented with an unerupted central incisor. According to the radiographic findings, she was diagnosed with a dentigerous cyst and underwent surgical enucleation. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological analysis. We briefly discussed the characteristics of similar cases.
