Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Glandular odontogenic cyst is a rare developmental odontogenic cyst which most frequently occures in mandible. According to low incidence and unusual shape and location of this case, we decided to report the case. CASE REPORT: Here we present an asymptomatic case in anterior part of maxilla that  radiographically was small and unilacular mimicking as a nasopalatine duct cyst. We have found it incidentally through radiographic evaluation before implant insertion. After enucleation and curettage, histopathologic evaluation revealed a glandular odontogenic cyst. In three months follow-up, no complication or recurrence was noticed, and the site of the lesion has filled with healthy bone. CONCLUSION: In some cases enbloc resection is suggested for glandular odontogenic cysts, but according to the size and locularity, there was no need for aggressive treatment.

Recurrent Glandular Odontogenic Cyst of Maxilla: a Case Report

The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare lesion with odontogenic origin. It shows a propensity for recurrence revealed in 30% of all case. This investigation reports a case of recurrent GOC in a 35-year-old female in the anterior region of the maxilla, which is uncommon and discusses about IHC finding, surgical methods, and differential diagnosis. Under general anesthesia, peripheral bone...

Glandular odontogenic cyst mimicking a radicular cyst: A case series

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is considered an odontogenic cyst of developmental origin, which because of its histological features had been termed sialo-odontogenic cyst. Although clinically and radiologically they bear similarity to relatively innocuous periapical lesions, their biological behavior is comparable to aggressive tumor-like conditions-like keratocystic odontogenic tumors. Thei...

Glandular Odontogenic Cyst Associated with Impacted Tooth: A Case Report

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon developmental cyst. It accounts for 0.012% to 1.3% of all the jaw cysts; its prevalence is 0.17%. It was described by Gardner et al. in 1988 as a distinct entity. GOC has a slight predilection for mandible and affect more commonly in the middle-aged patients. Radiographic and clinical features of this cyst are not pathognomonic or specific. Only t...

[Nasopalatine duct cyst: case report].

Nasopalatine are the most prevalent of non-odontogenic cysts in the oral cavity. Their origin, however, is still a source of controversy. We report the case of a patient with a mass in the anterior half of the hard palate following months of evolution, with a review of the literature.

Nasopalatine duct cyst: A case report

Incisive canal cyst or nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are the most common nonodontogenic and developmental cysts of the maxilla. These developmental NPDC are usually asymptomatic and are discovered during routine radiological examination done for some other diagnosis. A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable tool to localize a cyst within the nasopalatine canal. CBCT enables analys...
