Glandular odontogenic cysts (GOC) of the jaws are relatively rare cystic lesion, which poses a diagnostic challenge as well as a challenge in treatment. GOC can involve either jaws, but the anterior region of the mandible is the most affected area. It affects distinct age groups, with an average patient age of 50 years. Treatment by enucleation or curettage carries the highest risk for recurrence, especially in large and multilocular lesions. Peripheral osteoectomy or marginal resection can eliminate the recurrence risk.
