The roots of premolars were pushed distally [Figure 1] that causes mesially tilted permanent premolars. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed well-defined cyst, encroaching sinus cavity, and enclosing canine along with some radiopaque mass [Figure 1].

Then, overlying buccal cortical plate was removed, and the cyst was enucleated along with its lining and the canine and attached hard tissue [Figure 2]. Histopathological examination showed nests of polygonal to clear epithelial cells with extensive psammomatous calcifications in the form of Liesegang rings [Figure 2].

The patient already had an orthopantomogram that revealed an inverted drop-shaped radiolucency between the upper left second premolar and first molar.[Figure 3] The margins of the radiolucent area were well defined. Buccal cortex was eroded and expanded, and the palatal cortex was intact [Figure 3].

Then, the overlying buccal cortical plate was removed, and the cyst was enucleated along with its lining and the second premolar and attached hard tissue [Figure 4]. Focal calcification was also present [Figure 4].
