The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare developmental cyst that was described in 1988 by Gardner, et al. This lesion demonstrates non-specific clinical course and radiological findings. Hence, often confused with other lesions, but specific histopathlogical features help in establishing its correct diagnosis. This article presents a rare case of a maxillary glandular odontogenic cyst in ...

Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a developmental cyst that occurs in the jaw. it was initially defined by the world health organization as the orthokeratinized variant of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). However, studies have shown that OOC has a peculiar clinicopathologic aspects when compared with other developmental odontogenic cysts, especially OKC's. The orthokeratinized odontogenic...

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...

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 du...

BACKGROUND Odontogenic cysts (OC) are the most frequent lesions of the jaws and their constant epidemiological update is necessary and indispensable. Therefore the principal objective of this report was To determine prevalence and clinical-demographical characteristics of OC in a Mexican sample. MATERIAL AND METHODS 753 cases of OC coming from the archive of a head and neck histopathological ...

A 14-year-old Black female was referred for management of an asymptomatic swelling in her right maxilla. The lesion measured 3cm across, was localised lateral to the right ala of the nose, felt bony hard in some areas and soft in others, and was continuous with the maxillary buccal plate. It occupied the right anterior vestibule but there was no palatal expansion. A panoramic radiograph showed ...

An unusual odontogenic cyst, which was originally believed to be a clinical dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted mandibular third molar, was found histologically to demonstrate the characteristics of a glandular odontogenic cyst with para- and orthokeratinization. These histologic diversities were interpreted as a reflection of the pluripotentiality of the epithelial remnants of the man...

p53 and pcna expression in keratocystic odontogenic tumors compared with selected odontogenic cysts summary: the aim of this study was to evaluate p53 and pcna expression in different odontogenic lesions regarding their different clinical behaviors. slices prepared from 94 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks (25 radicular cysts (rc), 23 dentigerous cysts (dc), 23 keratocystic odontogenic tumors (kc...
