Case Report and Review of Glandular Odontogenic Cyst in Anterior Maxilla- A Histopathologic Perspective

Glandular odontogenic cyst is a rare odontogenic jaw cyst which exhibits a locally aggressive behaviour with high recurrence rate. It is a relatively new entity that was first described in 1987. Because of the paucity of reported cases, there is no consensus or established protocols about many aspects of management of this lesion. In this article, we present a case of glandular odontogenic cyst in maxilla in a 48 year old male patient and focus on the review of clinico-pathologic features and differential diagnosis, which can be often challenging.
