Glandular odontogenic cysts (GOCs) are rare odontogenic, solitary or multiloculatedintrabonycysts. The importance of GOCs lies in the fact that they exhibit a tendency for recurrence similar to keratocystic odontogenic tumors and that they may be confused microscopically with central mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
CaseReport: A 71year-old male patient complained of swelling in his anterior region of lower jawsince6 months causing expansion of lower labial cortex. This cystic lesion was managed by Enucleation and curettage technique.
Conclusion: A thorough clinical and radiological evaluation along with a meticulous and precise histopathological examination is important to prevent the recurrence of this aggressive cystic lesion.
