Abstract

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon developmental and aggressive cyst of jaws with unpredictable behaviour. Generally, it is seen in middle-aged adults and involves the anterior region of the jaws, especially the mandible, with a tendency to recur. The case described in this report regards a 62-year-old female with a presentation of a glandular odontogenic cyst, without any anamnestic pathological history.
