Abstract

Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is a rare and aggressive developmental odontogenic cyst, presenting significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Since its initial characterization, GOC has remained a diagnostic dilemma due to its histopathological similarities with other odontogenic cysts and tumors, such as dentigerous cysts, lateral periodontal cysts, and central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Accurate diagnosis often requires a meticulous histopathological examination, as well as consideration of clinical and radiographic features to differentiate GOC from other similar lesions.This case report aims to present a rare occurrence of Glandular Odontogenic Cyst in the anterior maxilla, underscoring the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, histopathological examination and effective management strategies.
