Abstract :

Background:Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon developmental Odontogenic cyst of jaws often misdiagnosed because of its overlapping histopathological features with that of other Odontogenic cysts.Although none of the clinical or radiographic featuresof GOC are unique or pathognomonic, the lesion has a potentially aggressive behavior.

Case report:

Here in we report a case of Glandular Odontogenic cyst of Maxilla in a 26 year old male patient highlighting the clinical and histopathological findings to enhance our knowledge in the diagnosis of this rare entity.

Conclusion: This case illustrates thatcareful clinical radiological and histopathological evaluation is required for the diagnosis and aggressive treatment of this highly recurrent cyst.
