Abstract: The gingival cyst of the adult (GCA) is a rare odontogenic cyst, consisting of 0.3% of all odontogenic cysts. This case report, based on CARE guidelines for case reports, aims to present a case of a 52-year-old female patient with a symptomatic translucent nodule in the upper left anterior gingiva, measuring approximately 6mm. Excisional biopsy was performed, and the histological examination revealed multiple cystic cavities lined by the squamous epithelium of varying thickness with focal areas of nodular thic… Show more

“…Gingival cyst of the adult (GCA) is a rare and benign odontogenic entity which accounts for about 0.3% of all odontogenic cysts; it arises from the dental lamina, but its etiology remains unclear; some hypotheses suggest a possible origin in the heterotopic glandular or enamel residues, dental lamina, or periodontal ligament [1,2]. A possible association with trauma has been reported as well [1][2][3].…”

A possible association with trauma has been reported as well [1][2][3]. The most common localization described in the literature is the vestibular attached gingiva in the mandibular canine and first premolar areas; the cysts mainly occur in women during the fifth and sixth decades of life and generally grow as a slow and painless swelling, usually solitary and small (measuring about 3-4 mm) nodules or vesicles varying in color from flesh-colored to bluish due to the presence of cystic fluid; multiple occurrences are poorly described [3][4][5][6][7].…”
