“…Another factor responsible for increased recurrence rate is the conservative treatment method [7, 8, 25]. Multicystic lesions treated by curettage or enucleation demonstrated increased recurrence rate of 55% with an average of 4.9 years [8].…”

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon jaw bone cyst of odontogenic origin described in 1987 by Gardner et al. It is a cyst having an unpredictable and potentially aggressive behaviour. It also has the propensity to grow to a large size and tendency to recur with only 111 cases having been reported thus far. The first case occurred in a 42-year-old female and presented as a localized swelling extending from 19 to 29 regions. There was a history of traumatic injury at the site. There was evidence of bicortical expansion and radiographs revealed a multilocular radiolucency. The second case occurred in a 21-year-old male, as a large swelling in the mandible and radiograph revealed radiolucency in the region. On histopathological examination, these lesions were diagnosed as GOC. It was concluded that, two cases submitted by us correlate with the existing literature that GOC’s affect more commonly in the middle age group, having predilection for mandible and that trauma could be a precipitating factor for its occurrence. The increased recurrence rates can be due to its intrinsic biological behavior, multilocularity of the cyst, and incomplete removal of the lining following conservative treatment.

“…Multicystic lesions treated by curettage or enucleation demonstrated increased recurrence rate of 55% with an average of 4.9 years [8]. The mechanism of recurrence may be partly attributed to the thinness of the cyst wall and to the presence of microcysts making the complete removal at surgery difficult.…”

“…GOC has been traditionally described as predominantly affecting middle-aged individuals in their 4th-7th decades of life (mean=45.9 years-old) (2,3). While some studies report no significant gender predilection (1,3,6–8), others have reported a slight male predominance of 1.3:1 to 2:1 (2,9,10). GOC commonly affects the mandible 2-3x as often as it does the maxilla (1,2,7,8,10).…”

“…GOC commonly affects the mandible 2-3x as often as it does the maxilla (1,2,7,8,10). Some reports claim a preference for the anterior mandible (3,6,8), but others indicate equal distribution between anterior and posterior mandibular segments (2). The radiographic findings of GOC often resemble those of odontogenic keratocyst or ameloblastoma, the former presenting as a unilocular radiolucency with scalloped borders and the latter as a multilocular and expansile radiolucency (1).…”

Glandular odontogenic cyst associated with ameloblastoma: Case report and review of the literature

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) associated with ameloblastoma is an exceedingly rare histologic presentation with no known clinical significance or treatment applications. Four cases have been reported, three in the mandible and one in the maxilla. The age range is 14-65 and with male predilection. All four presented with swellings and two with pain. We add one more case to the literature of a 58-year old male presenting with an expansile multilocular radiolucency between teeth #19-23. The ameloblastomatous changes in this case are consistent with those of a unicystic ameloblastoma-mural subtype. Although the histologic changes are those of a unicystic ameloblastoma, the clinical and radiographic findings are not. This case therefore presents a clinical challenge with regards to treatment planning for recurrence and prognosis. We conclude that treatment for GOC therefore be based on individual clinical presentation. Key words:Glandular odontogenic cyst, GOC, ameloblastoma, unicystic ameloblastoma, mural unicystic ameloblastoma.

“…The potentially aggressive nature of the lesion was suggested by penetration of the cortical bone and high incidence of recurrence after conservative treatment. 1 GOC is a rare lesion with an incidence of 0.2% of odontogenic cysts. 2 It affects males twice as frequently as females and the mandible almost three times as frequently as maxilla.…”

Glandular odontogenic cyst mimicking ameloblastoma in a 78-year-old female: A case report

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare, potentially aggressive jaw lesion. The common radiographic features include a well-defined radiolucency with distinct borders, presenting a uni- or multilocular appearance. A cystic lesion in the posterior mandible of a 78-year-old female was incidentally found. Radiographs showed a unilocular lesion with a scalloped margin, external root resorption of the adjacent tooth, and cortical perforation. This lesion had changed from a small ovoid shape to a more expanded lesion in a period of four years. The small lesion showed unilocularity with a smooth margin and a well-defined border, but the expanded lesion produced cortical perforation and a lobulated margin. The provisional diagnosis was an ameloblastoma, whereas the histopathological examination revealed a GOC. This was a quite rare case, given that this radiographic change was observed in the posterior mandible of an elderly female. This case showed that a GOC can grow even in people in their seventies, changing from the unilocular form to an expanded, lobulated lesion. Here, we report a case of GOC with characteristic radiographic features.
