A case of an adult Nigerian female patient, who was found to have an unusual lesion, namely a glandular odontogenic cyst of the anterior mandible, is described. This lesion was found to be an extensive intra-bony lesion with alveolar expansion and was initially associated with infection and mobile teeth. Treatment for this ranges from curettage to block excision. There is a significant recurrence rate for these lesions and long-term follow-up is advised.
