Introduction: Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is uncommon jaw cyst of odontogenic origin with unpredictable and potentially aggressive behavior. It is a rare developmental cyst with relatively low frequency of just 0.012–0.03%. Very limited cases of GOC have been reported in literature since it was first described by Gardner et al. in 1988. GOC is found to occur in fifth decade of life and the...

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is generally considered uncommon, but several investigators claim there is a more frequent occurrence than previously thought. However these case reports lacked confirming data to validate their claim. On the other hand, it is possible that cases of central mucepidermoid carcinoma or later periodontal cyst might be viewed as glandular odontogenic cyst. This is a...

background and aims. odontogenic cysts and tumors have a wide spectrum of clinical characteristics that lead to the different management strategies. since definite diagnosis is difficult in some cases, it has been suggested that cd56 may be a candidate marker for definitive diagnosis of some odontogenic tumors. the present study was designed to examine cd56 expression in lesions with histopatho...
