Lateral periodontal cyst is a rare developmental odontogenic type of cyst. It is being frequently diagnosed as an incidental radiographic finding, presenting as a well circumscribed round or tear shaped radiolucent area between the roots of vital teeth. It is often misdiagnosed as one of the lesion of endodontic origin. This case reports of a classical example of lateral periodontal cyst describing its clinical, radiological and histological features representing that the final diagnosis must be based on histopathological examination.
