Glandular Odontogenic Cyst Associated with Odontoma: A Rare Case Report

Background Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an extremely rare developmental jawbone cyst, tending to recurrence owing to its aggressive behavior. There has been no reported case of presence of GOC simultaneous with odontoma. We presented a case of GOC associated with odontoma with special reference to the diagnostic imaging and the histopathological features. Case Presentation A 42-year-old Chinese man presented with swelling and pain in the anterior mandible for the past 3 months. Panoramic scan showed a large multiocular well-circumscribed radiolucency accompanied by toothlike morphological abnormality. Histological findings confirmed a GOC associated with odontoma. Conclusion This case demonstrates GOC with multiple clinical spectrum, and its association with odontoma might enhance the existing knowledge of this rare jawbone cyst.
