ABSTRACT

A glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare odontogenic lesion with a distinct entity. It exhibits morphological similarities to other lesions both radiologically and histopathologically, making its diagnosis challenging. We report a rare case of GOC associated with the crown of an impacted mandibular third molar presenting as a unilocular osteodestructive lesion in a 49-year male. The diagnosis was made based on characteristic histopathological findings.
