Abstract: | Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is generally considered uncommon, but several investigators claim there is a more frequent occurrence than previously thought. However these case reports lacked confirming data to validate their claim. On the other hand, it is possible that cases of central mucepidermoid carcinoma or later periodontal cyst might be viewed as glandular odontogenic cyst. This is a report of a case of a 70-year old male who presented with a firm swelling in the right side of his edentulous mandible. Radiographic examination revealed a multilocular radiolucent lesion in the mandible extending from the right first premolar to the left second premolar and reaching the inferior mandible. Clinical findings, the health history, and microscopic examination of excised tissue confirmed the diagnosis of GOC. The lesion was excised and post-operative healing was uneventful. |
