Glandular odontogenic cyst: report of a case with cytokeratin expression.
The glandular odontogenic cyst is a rare lesion that was recognized as a distinct entity in the latest WHO typing of odontogenic tumors. We report a glandular odontogenic cyst that recurred after surgical removal from the anterior mandible of a 54-year-old white man. Immunohistochemical study showed that the cystic epithelium reacted positively to antibodies directed against cytokeratins (CKs) 7, 13, 14, and 19 and negatively to CKs 8 and 18.
