GONCALO, Rani I. C. et al. A diagnostic and clinical approach towards glandular odontogenic cysts: A case report. Rev Port Estomatol Med Dent Cir Maxilofac [online]. 2020, vol.61, n.3, pp.148-153.  Epub 30-Set-2020. ISSN 1646-2890.  https://doi.org/10.24873/j.rpemd.2020.11.709.

The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare jaw development cyst that exhibits aggressive biological behavior and is prone to recurrence. The present study aims to report a case of GOC with an emphasis on its clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects. A 40-year-old female patient presented to the Buccomaxillofacial Surgery service with a swelling in the anterior mandible. Histopathological analysis revealed a cystic cavity lined by a non-keratinized epithelium of varying thickness, exhibiting many features consistent with GOC, such as mucous cells and duct-like microcystic spaces. Lesion resection was performed, followed by immediate reconstruction. After one year of follow-up, the patient is free of recurrence.

Therefore, this case highlights the importance of an effective diagnosis of GOC, through a clear definition of histopathological criteria, to provide the most appropriate treatment and absence of relapses.
