Abstract

OPASO YANES, C; HIDALGO RIVAS, A; DROGUETT, D  and  CELIS CONTRERAS, C. Epidemiology, clinical and imaging of glandular odontogenic cyst: narrative review. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.6, pp.285-299.  Epub Mar 18, 2024. ISSN 2340-3152.

Introduction:

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) has a diversity of epidemiological, clinical and imaging characteristics. The purpose of this review was to analyze the epidemiology, clinic, and imaging, along with aggressiveness, treatment, follow-up, and recurrence of GOC in the current literature.

Materials and methods:

A systematic search for clinical cases of GOC published between 2012-2022 was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science and Science Direct. Epidemiological, clinical and imaging information, along with their histopathological confirmation through description and images had to be present in the articles.

Results:

27 articles with 30 GOC were included. GOC was found to be present between 7 and 78 years. Its average evolution time was one year. They were observed mostly in the posterior mandible and were asymptomatic. They were mostly radiolucent, unilocular, with defined and corticated borders and presented bone expansion. They presented aggressive characteristics such as larger size, bone perforation and the teeth involved tended to have infiltrated periodontal space, displacement and root resorption. GOC were mostly treated with enucleation and did not present recurrence.

Conclusions:

GOC was observed with atypical characteristics, which differ from classical literature in terms of age, time of evolution, symptomatology, imaging pattern, bilateral presentation and location. Imaging of QOG generally has an aggressive behavior. Its aggressiveness was associated with its larger size, cortical effacement and/or infiltration, bone perforation, infiltrated periodontal space, root resorption, and involvement of adjacent anatomical structures. Considering the characteristics mentioned above, decompression and excision treatments, together with follow-up of less than 5 years, could lead to recurrence.
