Abstract

Glandular odontogenic cyst(GOC) is a rare cyst of odontogenic origin, first described in 1988 by Gardner et al. Three glandular odontogenic cysts are presented which were experienced in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, Yonsei University. The clinical characteristics, radiologic and histopathologic features, and method of treatment are discussed. One occured in the anterior maxilla, others in the mandible body area. One in the anterior maxilla showed swelling and tenderness, others not. All the lesion presented radiographically unilocular radiolucent lesion. Histopathologically, those were lined by nonkeratinizing stratified squamous epithelium of varying thickness showing plaque-like or spherical thickening. Partially, eosinophilic cuboidal cells lined the intraepithelial microcysts. Also, ciliated cuboidal cells and mucinous cells were observed. The cysts were treated by enucleation.
