Abstract
Glandular odontogenic cyst GOC is a rare cyst that is predominantly noticed in the anterior region of the mandible with a prevalence of 0.012- 1.3 of all jaw cysts more commonly in male population with a mean age of 49.5 years. Clinically in most cases it presents as an asymptomatic swelling and radiographically it may appear as unilocular or multilocular radiolucency which is non-specific. Histopathological diagnosis is of utmost importance and it is challenging as it can resemble other jaw cysts like botryoid odontogenic cyst lateral periodontal cyst and malignant neoplasms like mucoepidermoid carcinoma. In this article we present a series of six cases reported to our institution with swelling of the face of varying extent and different radiological presentations which were diagnosed as GOC.
