Recurrent glandular odontogenic cyst treatment.
The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare odontogenic cyst. Although none of the clinical or radiographic features of GOC are unique or pathognomonic, the lesion has a potentially aggressive behavior. Treatment of GOC includes curettage and enucleation or excision and cryotherapy; however marginal resection is usually considered a more reliable approach due to the low incidence of recurrence. In this article, we present a case with GOC which recurred five years after the initial surgical treatment.
