ABSTRACT
WHO (1992) Classified GOC as a developmental odontogenic cyst. Till now only 200 cases reported in publications and among them less than 30 cases reported in India. This cyst is least known in reference of its clinical behaviours & radiographical findings. Most of the cases reported are in anterior mandible of middle-aged group. Most of the cases include asymptomatic swelling in anterior mandibular region. Radiographic characteristics are non-specific and ranges from unilocular to multilocular hypodense areas. These lesions have characteristic histopathological features which helps in the diagnosis. This paper reports a case of GOC in anterior mandibular region with unusual clinical and radiographical presentation.
Key words: glandular odontogenic cyst, GOC, developmental cyst.
