Abstract
ABSTRACT
Aim
The aim of the study was to report a unique case of glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) in an unusual location of anterior maxilla.
Materials and methods
Considering the age, sex, and location of the lesion, a minimally invasive surgical procedure was opted considering esthetics, such as decompression followed by enucleation and fresh frozen bone (FFB) grafting. To arrive at the diagnosis, cytokeratin (CK)-19 was employed to differentiate from suspected intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Results
With the evidence of pre- and post treatment histopathological changes, the lesion appeared less aggressive justifying the treatment executed.
Conclusion
Glandular odontogenic cyst is a locally aggressive jaw cyst, which has a high rate of cortical perforation and recurrence that poses both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Clinical significance
Treatment of decompression, followed by enucleation may be considered as an effective option in comparison to aggressive surgical intervention.
