Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is a rare developmental cyst of the jaws. The histological features of GOC strongly suggest an origin from the remains of dental lamina. Radiographically, GOC presents as well-defined radiolucencies with uni- or multilocular appearance. A case of GOC in a 54-year-old black female is presented here. Clinical, histological and imaging features were evaluated. Due to the high tendency of recurrence and the aggressive potential of GOC, careful clinical and radiological evaluation must be carried out. CT scans are recommended because they provide accurate information about locularity of the lesion, cortical integrity, expansion of the lesion and involvement of the contiguous soft tissue.
