Glandular Odontogenic Cyst withan Odontome: An Unusual Association
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC)is a relatively rare jaw cyst with frequency of only 0.2%. It is common in 5th -6th decade of life with mean age of occurrence of 45.7 years. It has slight male predominance (M: F; 1.3:1) and 70% of the cases occur in mandible.It is locally aggressive and tends to cause bone expansion, cortical perforation, root resorption and has high rate of recurrence. Previously it was thought to have glandular origin due to its histological similarities with low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma and presence of intraepithelial duct like structures. With advances in modern immunohistochemicalmarkerssialogenic origin is now not supported and odontogenic origin is thought of,but these studies do not confirm the definite odontogenic origin of GOC due to overlapping of markers used. The additional support for their odontogenic origin is provided bytheir association with otherodontogenictumours such as Ameloblastoma and keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT). Reported here is a case of GOC in associationwith an odontome which will strengthen the odontogenic origin of this relatively rare jaw cyst.
