PDFCase Reports: Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease
Unusual presentation of non-inflamed glandular odontogenic cyst presenting with cholesterol clefts
Abstract
Glandular odontogenic cysts (GOCs) are relatively rare among odontogenic cysts but are widely discussed owing to their multifaceted nature. We present a case of a women in her late 30s with a large radiolucency of right posterior ramus area and an associated impacted third molar. Histopathology confirmed GOC; although it presented with unusual presence of cholesterol clefts in absence of inflammation. This report emphasises the novelty and significance of the aforementioned finding.
