Radicular cysts are the most frequent bone lessions which appears in childhood. Their appearence is in connection with gangrenous teeth of permanent dentition. Folicular cysts are somewhat rare bone lessions but their appearence is in connection with impacted teeth of permanent dentition. Because of that they appear a little bit later, i.e. when they begin to sprout out. In this work has been given an interesting case report of enucleated radicular cyst caused by gangrenous second lower deciduous molar. All clinical indicators have shown follicular cyst, but microscopic finding gave completely different results. The rule that definitive diagnosis of lesion’s character should be made only after approved histopathology analysis.

Key words: radicular cyst, folicular cyst, deciduous tooth, impacted tooth, hystopathology
