Radicular cyst usually originates as a sequel to a periapical inflammatory process following an injury. This report presents a case of radicular cyst with "bilateral involvement" of permanent central incisors with an atypical radiographical finding and pathological picture that has been discussed. An extensive review of radicular cyst with rarity as seen in the present case was studied. Further importance on treatment with a long term following up of the patient was noted. A sound knowledge regarding the rarity of this lesion is necessary to aid in early diagnosis with an appropriate treatment plan for general practitioners.

Keywords : Bilateral radicular cyst; inflammatory cyst; cell rests of malassez; cholesterol clefts.
