Glandular odontogenic cyst with hyaline bodies: an unusual dentigerous presentation.
We present an unusual case of glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) enclosing the crown of an impacted canine that developed in the anterior mandible in a 54-year-old woman. Microscopically, it contained numerous glandular structures and hyaline bodies in the epithelial lining. The present rare case is sufficiently distinctive to be considered a dentigerous variant of GOC.
