The glandular odontogenic cyst: an apparent entity

Abstract

This article reports 8 examples of a rare cyst of the jaws that appears to be a distinct entity and which we have named glandular odontogenic cyst because of its unusual histopathological features. This lesion occurs over a wide age range in both sexes, tends to recur, and may become very large. However, one example in this series remained small over a period of 9 years; another, somewhat atypical example, was associated with an ameloblastoma.
