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.

Median mandibular cyst is defined as an odontogenic cyst in a rare midline location. In spite of this definition, there have been two reports of a peculiar lesion, so-called "ciliated" median mandibular cyst associated with vital teeth, the origin of which cannot be explained in terms of odontogenic epithelium multipotentiality. We describe a thorough profile of an additional example.

This report describes an atypical case of canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) with mucinous glandular differentiation in a 12-year-old male Chihuahua with a right mandibular mass. Initially diagnosed as CAA by biopsy, computed tomography revealed bone lysis, prompting surgical excision. Histological examination showed lobular growth with two distinct neoplastic cell populations: typical CAA-like cells and a minor glandular structure population.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the expression of hypoxia markers associated with invadopodia in glandular odontogenic cysts and to explore an association between this expression with the aggressive biological behaviour of this odontogenic cyst.
Design: Immunohistochemistry was employed to assess the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), notch homologous protein of the neurogenic locus 1 (NOTCH-1), disintegrin and metalloproteinase-12 (ADAM-12), and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) in 17 samples of glandular odontogenic cysts, 10 samples of calcifying odontogenic cysts, and 10 samples of dental follicles.
Results: The glandular odontogenic cyst samples exhibited increased expression of HIF-1α, NOTCH-1, ADAM-12 and HBEGF proteins compared with calcifying odontogenic cyst and dental follicle samples.

Glandular odontogenic cysts(GOC) are among the rarest odontogenic cysts defined by the presence of glandular epithelium in the epithelial lining posing some diagnostic difficulties. GOC associated with ameloblastoma is extremely rare with only 5 cases reported. This report deals with this rare occurrence of GOC along with unicystic ameloblastoma.

In this retrospective study, 2624 biopsy reports were assessed. If the report was a record of a pericoronal lesion, the age and sex of the patient and the location, microscopic diagnosis, radiographic features, and size of the lesion were recorded.
