Objective:
Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a less frequent odontogenic cyst with unpredictable clinical behavior and relatively high recurrence rate, posing a diagnostic and therapeutical challenges in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This study evaluated retrospectively management and outcomes in a cohort of individuals suffering from GOC, in the Department of Dentistry and The Fingerland Department of Pathology in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.
Study Design:
. Retrospective assessment was performed on 10 individuals with histologically confirmed GOC treated between year 2015 and 2025. Clinical and radiologic findings, surgical approaches and postoperative care were documented and discussed.
Results:
. Totally,10 individuals (8 males, 2 females: median age 51.5 years) were treated. Lesion were predominantly located in the mandible, with one maxillary case only. Surgical treatment consisted of cyst extirpation with extraction of involved teeth. Recurrence occurred twice in maxillary case, and a suspected recurrence was noted in another individual.
Conclusions:
. Surgical extirpation of GOC yielded satisfactory outcomes even in recurrences, without the need for radical resective procedures. Prolonged follow-ups including radiological examination are essential.
