Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is a rare odontogenic cyst that indicates the pluripotency of the oral epithelium due to the exhibition of glandular characteristics. It is more prevalent in the mandibular anterior region and shows a predilection in males. The cyst was first described by Padayachee and van Wyk in 1987. It has non distinct clinical and radiographic features but very characteristic histopathological features. Here, the authors report a rare case of GOC occurring in a 36-year-old male patient in the maxillary anterior region. An intraoral periapical radiograph revealed a large unilocular radiolucency from the apex of 11 to the mesial aspect of 15. The cyst was enucleated under local anaesthesia, and endodontic treatment was performed for the associated teeth. No recurrence was seen at the two-month follow-up.
