Abstract :
Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is a rare developmental cyst of the jaws. The most common site of occurance is the anterior mandible, and it occurs mostly in middle-aged people. Predilection for men is observed. Radiographically, GOC presents as well-defined radiolucencies with uni- or multilocular appearance. A case of GOC in a 51 year old white male is presented here. Clinical, histological and imaging features were evaluated. Due to high tendency of recurrence and the aggresive potential of GOC careful clinical and radiological evaluation must be carried out. The treatment choise is stil controversial, varying from a curretage to local block excision. A long-term follow-up should be recommended.
