A case of botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is reported with clinical, radiographical and histological features. A well-defined multilocular radiolucency between the lower right first and second premolars was noted on a routine periapical radiograph of a 41-year-old woman, whose only complaint was of a "dull ache." This multilocular lesion was easily enucleated and was grossly polycystic in appearance. The histologic appearance of the specimen was characteristic and resembled previously published description of botryoid odontogenic cyst. Multiple cystic areas within the lesion were readily evident and cystic epithelial cells with clear cytoplasm were also easily demonstrated. Radiograph taken 20 months after the surgery did not showed any sign of recurrence. However, longer follow-up is recommended for this lesion, since the possibility of recurrence might be enhanced by its polycystic nature.
