Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old Chihuahua was brought in because one of its eyes was bulging out (exophthalmos), and it was experiencing bone erosion in the face. The vet used advanced imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans to diagnose a type of cyst in the dog's mouth called an odontogenic parakeratinized cyst. After confirming the diagnosis through a tissue examination, the vet was able to determine the best treatment plan. The dog received appropriate care to address the cyst and its symptoms, leading to a positive outcome.

Abstract
A novel case of a canine odontogenic parakeratinized cyst (COPC) that resulted in exophthalmos and palatine, maxillary, and zygomatic bone erosion in a 5-year-old Chihuahua dog is reported. Final diagnosis was aided by cross-sectional imaging (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography) and confirmed with histologic examination of the cyst wall.
