title: Glandular odontogenic cyst of the posterior maxilla.
abstract: The glandular odontogenic cyst is an uncommon developmental odontogenic cyst described as a distinct entity by Gardner et al. in 1988. The Glandular odontogenic cyst occurs more commonly in middle-aged people and has a predilection for the mandible. Only histopathological examinations allow for certain diagnosis of the cyst. The increased recurrence rate can be due to its multilocularity and incomplete removal of the lining following conservative treatment. This article presents a case of glandular odontogenic cyst in a 28-year-old male patient in the posterior region of the maxilla, which is quite rare.
