“…GCAs are rare developmental lesions, with about 170 cases described in the literature over the past 70 years worldwide [ 2 , 8 , 12 , 13 ]. Unfortunately, in most studies, they are only cited among odontogenic cysts or as a subgroup without providing a detailed description of each case's characteristics [ 6 , 10 , 11 , 14 ].…”

“…Gingival cysts of adults (GCAs) are slow-growing, odontogenic, developmental cysts originating from the rests of dental lamina [ 1 ]. GCAs are considered rare lesions, accounting for approximately 0.3% of all odontogenic cysts [ 2 , 3 ]. Most studies agree that the mandible is the most common site for GCAs, mainly located in the vestibular attached gingiva of the canine and first premolar areas.…”

“…In terms of patient demographics, GCAs have a slight female predilection [ 3 , 7 – 10 ]. The age at diagnosis varies with a peak incidence in the fifth and sixth decades of life [ 2 , 3 , 5 – 9 ]. Cases affecting patients older than 65 years of age are rare ( Table 1 ).…”

Gingival cysts of adults (GCAs) are a relatively rare type of odontogenic cysts developing from the remnants of the dental lamina. Although GCAs generally affect individuals below the age of 65, their findings in older patients may exceptionally occur. Usually asymptomatic, they present as small, generally solitary nodules, located on the attached gingiva, primarily in the mandibular canine and premolar regions. This report highlights a rare case of a solitary GCA in an 82-year-old patient, who presented with a discrete nodule located between the right mandibular canine and first premolar. An excisional biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis of GCA was confirmed by the histological examination. No recurrence was observed during the 18-month follow-up period. Additionally, a literature review was conducted to analyse the clinical and pathological characteristics of GCAs in patients aged 65 and older. By providing details of this rare entity, our case study highlights the importance of considering GCAs when diagnosing gingival lesions in geriatric patients. By increasing our understanding of GCAs in the elderly population, our findings can help improve diagnosis as well as management strategies for these lesions.

Tumors of the jaws represent a heterogeneous group of lesions that are classified histologically in the World Health Organization Classification of Odontogenic Tumors (2017). This article provides an update of the current nomenclature. The main role of imaging is to describe the precise location and extent of these lesions. Although characterization of imaging is often difficult due to overlapping characteristics, imaging is helpful to define which lesions should be referred for histologic examination and subsequent treatment planning. Location and density are the cardinal criteria for potential characterization on imaging. Radiologically, lesions may be radiolucent, radiopaque, or of mixed density. Additional criteria include lesion demarcation, morphology, cortical breakthrough, periosteal reaction, and adjacent soft tissue changes. Final lesion characterization is only definitive after interdisciplinary discussion and radiopathologic correlation. Correct diagnosis is obtained by a combination of the patient's age, lesion location, and clinical and radiologic presentation. It is important that all physicians use a uniform nomenclature.

“…Buchner and Hansen reported a case in a 7 year old in 1979, and Park, Cheung, and Campbell published a case in a 4‐year‐old boy in 2017 . A review of 20 cases by Viveiros et al in 2019 agrees that although gingival cysts are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any bluish asymptomatic nodule …”
