Glandular Odontogenic Cyst of the Maxilla- A Rarity: Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) routinely presents as a painless, slow-growing cystic lesion of the jaw which has an inclination towards anterior part of the mandible. Glandular odontogenic cysts (GOCs) are relatively uncommon intraosseous solitary or multiloculated cysts which originate from the odontogenic epithelium. The interesting fact of GOCs is that they exhibit a propensity for recurrence which is similar to keratocystic odontogenic tumors and that they may be confused microscopically as they exhibit features which are commonly seen in central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. GOC usually occurs in the fourth and fifth decades of life and presents as an expansion of jaws. It shows nonspecific clinical and radiological findings which may resemble other lesions, but histopathological examination helps in its diagnosis. We present a case of asymptomatic glandular odontogenic cyst in a 50-year-old male patient gradually increased in size which was radio-diagnosed as the dentigerous cyst.
