The gingival cyst of adult (GCA) is a rare developmental anomaly of odontogenic origin. It is asymptomatic, slow growing, and commonly seen near the canine and premolar region of mandible. The GCA is usually treated by excisional biopsy. Usually, occurrence is more common in 5th to 6th decade of life. The present case report describes a solitary GCA treated by excisional biopsy in a 76-year-old male patient which had recurred for the fourth time. This article also highlights on diagnostic process and a review of literature describing its histiogenesis, clinical, and histopathologic features of this condition.

“…Rarely, it may occur in multiple locations, either unilaterally or bilaterally, or on the lingual surface of the alveolar process [1][2][3] . In some cases, an alveolar bone resorption may be present with a scoop-like pattern, frequently noted during surgical excision of the cyst 4 . Histopathological evaluation demonstrates non-keratinized epithelial lining with or without focal areas of acanthosis containing clear cells of glycogen-rich cytoplasm 4 .…”

Gingival Cyst of the Adult Involving Alveolar Mucosa and Gingiva: Case Report

The gingival cyst of the adult is an uncommon odontogenic cyst, etiologically related to the dental lamina. The aim of this study was to report a clinical case of gingival cyst of the adult. A 60-year-old male patient was referred to evaluate a lesion located in the anterior region of the left maxilla, close to the teeth #21 and #22. The patient’s medical history was not remarkable. Intraoral examination showed a nodular lesion covered by normal-appearing oral mucosa, asymptomatic, well-defined, with evolution of approximately 5 months. Since the periapical radiograph examination did not reveal any bone changes, the main diagnostic hypothesis was gingival cyst of the adult. By microscopy, typical features of gingival cyst of the adult were observed. The patient was monitoring and, after 3-year follow up, no signs of recurrence were demonstrated. Although rare, the gingival cyst of the adult should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any swelling involving the gingival region.

“…9 The GCA is considered to be the soft tissue counterpart of the intraosseous LPC. 10 Verification of bone loss in radiographs can sometimes help distinguish between a GCA and an LPC, 11 although both lesions can be found along the osseous crest, which makes it impossible to distinguish between them just from a radiograph. Saucer-like depressions can be seen in crestal bone next to a GCA caused by pressure from the cyst.…”

Introduction: Gingival cysts of the adult (GCAs) are rare developmental soft tissue cysts usually found on the facial attached gingiva. Documented cases on the lingual aspect are extremely uncommon. This report details a lingual GCA along with distinguishing characteristics of this lesion. Case Presentation: The patient, a 37‐year‐old female, presented with a firm, round‐shaped, bluish swelling on the lingual gingiva in the interproximal area between teeth #21 and #22. Radiographs revealed a circular radiolucency at the osseous crest. Surgical exploration showed cystic‐appearing tissue with accompanying bone resorption. Histologic examination, along with clinical presentation, confirmed a diagnosis of gingival cyst. Healing was uneventful with no evidence of recurrence at a 5‐month recall. Conclusions: A GCA is usually of odontogenic origin and occurs typically in the attached gingiva of the mandibular premolar region. Occasionally, it demonstrates radiographic evidence of bone loss from pressure resorption. Its more frequent intraosseous counterpart, the lateral periodontal cyst, shares histopathologic characteristics with the GCA. These findings underscore the importance in establishing a definitive diagnosis.
