Abstract
Glandular odontogenic cyst is a rare developmental odontogenic cyst that arises from the dental lamina epithelium and presents with glandular characteristics. It occurs most commonly in the anterior mandible of middle-aged male patients and its clinical importance comes from the potentially aggressive behavior due to high recurrence. A 29-year-old man was referred for evaluation of an asymptomatic swelling in the anterior region of the mandible with 1-year duration. Intraoral examination showed an expansion of the vestibular plate of the anterior mandible covered by healthy oral mucosa without extraoral asymmetry. Panoramic radiography revealed well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion without root resorption or displacement. The diagnostic hypothesis was radicular cyst and excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathologic examination revealed a glandular odontogenic cyst. The patient remains under follow-up considering the recurrence risk.
