Glandular odontogenic cyst: a ten-case series and literature review with emphasis on radiological diagnostic challenges.
Review in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGlandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare developmental odontogenic lesion characterized by histological complexity and significant radiological overlap with other cystic or neoplastic jaw lesions. Its nonspecific imaging features often lead to misdiagnosis, delaying appropriate treatment and increasing the risk of recurrence. Despite its clinical relevance, radiographic analysis of GOC remains underreported in the literature.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed ten cases of histopathologically confirmed GOC diagnosed between 2015 and 2024 at Kyungpook National University Dental Hospital. All patients underwent both panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for preoperative imaging evaluation. Radiographic features were assessed and compared with final histopathological diagnoses. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review was performed using PubMed. A total of 74 previously reported cases were included based on the availability of both imaging and histological data. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to summarize demographic data, radiographic patterns, and frequency of preoperative misdiagnoses.
resultsTen histopathologically confirmed GOC cases demonstrated male predominance (7:3), a mean age of 49.1 years, and frequent mandibular involvement (90%). Most lesions were unilocular with variably defined margins and were commonly misdiagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) or radicular cyst (RC). One case showed recurrence after 55 months. In the literature, 74 reported GOC cases had a mean age of 44.4 years, with similar male predominance and mandibular predilection (75%). Radiographically, 51.7% were multilocular, 93.2% had well-defined margins, and 14.6% demonstrated recurrence. A literature review confirmed that OKC and ameloblastoma (AB) were the most frequently misdiagnosed entities.
conclusionGOC can exhibit radiographic overlap with a wide range of odontogenic lesions, including OKC, RC, and AB, reflecting its imaging variability and preoperative diagnostic challenges.
