Maxillary and mandibular bone defects can result from injury, congenital defect, or accident, or as a con-sequence of surgical procedures when treating pathology or defects affecting jaw bones. The glandularodontogenic cyst is an infrequent type of odontogenic cyst that can leave a bony defect after being treated
by aggressive surgical means. First described in 1987 by Padayachee and VanWyk, it is a potentially aggres-
sive entity, having a predisposition to recur when treated conservatively, with only 111 cases having been
reported hitherto. Most reports emphasize its clinical, radiographic, and histologic features, including
a few considerations on rehabilitation for these patients. The aim of this article is to present the case of
a 24-year-old male patient who, in 2001, was diagnosed with a glandular odontogenic cyst and to focus
on the surgical approach and rehabilitation scheme. We performed an anterior partial maxillectomy.
The osseous defect was treated using bone transport distraction. Dental and occlusal rehabilitation wasachieved with titanium implants over transported bone and an implant-supported overdenture. A 9-year
follow-up shows no evidence of recurrence of the pathology, adequate shape and amount of bone, func-
tional occlusal and dental rehabilitation, and patient’s satisfaction.

Maxillary and mandibular bone defects can result from
injury, congenital defect, or accident, or as a conse-
quence of surgical procedures. The glandular odonto-genic cyst (GOC) is an infrequent type of odontogenic
cyst counted among the pathologies that can leave
a bony defect after being treated by aggressive surgical
means.
GOC was first reported in the English literature in
1987 when Padayachee and Van Wyk1 described 2
multilocular mandibular cysts and speculated on the
possibility of salivary gland origin, thus suggestingthe term sialo-odontogenic cyst. The following year
Gardner, Kessler, Morency, and Schaffner2 reported 8
more cases and proposed the term GOC. Four years
later the World Health Organization included this
pathology in its typing of odontogenic tumors.3
GOC is an exceedingly rare odontogenic cyst
of the jaw bones; it shows a high tendency to

recur when treated conservatively.4,5 It exhibits
a definite predilection for the anterior portion of the
mandible.4-7 Radiographically, it presents as eithera unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesion with
well-demarked borders,8 and histologically, it is charac-
terized by a cyst wall lining of nonkeratinized epithe-
lium with papillary projections, nodular thickenings,
and mucous-filled clefts, as well as the presence of vari-
able numbers of mucous-secreting cells in the surface
layer of the epithelium.3-4,9
The most recently published review of the literatureidentified 111 cases.9 Our literature review found that
most reports of GOC emphasize its clinical, radio-
graphic, and histologic features, with little mention
of the treatment plan and final rehabilitation for the
patients targeted by this unpredictable, potentially
aggressive cyst.10-13 In this article, we present the
case of a 24-year-old male patient diagnosed with
GOC. We focus on the rehabilitation plan accom-plished with bone transport distraction, titanium
implants over transported bone, and an implant-
supported overdenture.
Case Report
On October 2, 2001, a 24-year-old man who was
born and raised in Bogot�a presented to the Oral andMaxillofacial Surgery Division at Cl�ınica Infantil Col-
subsidio in Bogot�a, Colombia. The chief complaint
was a large swelling in the anterior portion of the
hard palate of 5 days duration. He associated the lesion

with a traumatic injury. Inquiry into the patient’s med-
ical history showed that he was a healthy person who
was not taking any medications at the time of the
appointment.
Intra-oral examination found a painful, rounded,
2.5 cm of diameter mass located on the midline of the
hard palate. The mass, which was fluctuant and ery-
thematous, had a pustule buccal to tooth 8. The masscreated not only an evident deformation of the contour,
but also plus II mobility of upper right central incisor
and upper left central incisor, the latter being painful
to percussion as well. Palpation of the cervical area
showed no lymphadenopathy. Vital signs were as fol-
lows: bloodpressure 120/80 mmHg, heart rate 75beats
per minute, 19 per minute, and temperature 37�C.He presented with a periapical radiograph of the an-
terior superior incisives taken a few days earlier in the
Division of Endodontics. The image showed a radiolu-
cent, unilocular lesion apical to teeth 8 and 9. The
clinical provisional diagnosis was ameloblastoma.
The differential diagnosis included central giant-cell
granuloma, odontogenic keratocyst, and central
mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The necessity of both
a panoramic radiograph and a biopsy to confirm thediagnosis and determine treatment options was
explained to the patient. He agreed to the biopsy but
refused to be exposed to additional radiation.
In the operating room, under local anesthesia with
lidocaine 1:80,000 epinephrine, an incisional biopsy
was performed in the hard palate from teeth 8 to 10.
The sample was sent to the pathology division for anal-
ysis. It was reported as being a glandular odontogeniccyst. During the next 2 months, several attempts were
made to contact the patient, but he failed to answer
phone calls or return to the Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery Division.
Six months later, the patient entered the emer-
gency room with excruciating pain at the same
site with a deformation of contour on both palatal
and vestibular surfaces, palatal tumefaction, and la-bial edema that caused facial asymmetry. The emer-
gency treatment included drainage of the lesion,
resulting in the collection of 15 mL of hematopuru-
lent material. A panoramic radiograph taken the
next day showed a well-defined, unilocular, radiolu-
cent lesion with scalloped borders and rhizoly-
sis (Figure 1).
In 2002, as it seems to be today, there was no clarityabout the best method of treating GOC, with authors
recommending both conservative10,14 and aggressive
approaches.15-16 We proposed the following: 1)
surgical approach in the form of partial anterior
maxillectomy, 2) construction of a temporary
removable partial denture, 3) bone transport
distraction, 4) endosseous implants over transported
bone, and 5) implant-supported overdenture.
On the basis of the clinical presentation of the case,
histopathology, and literature review, the patient un-
derwent a partial anterior maxillectomy, includingteeth 6 to 10, under general anesthesia. Margins in
the resection were 1 cm. The removed fragment mea-
sured 4.0 cm x 3.5 cm, and 2 cm in depth. There was
no oroantral communication. The wound was closed
in layers and healed uneventfully (Figure 2). The spec-
imen was sent to the Division of Pathology, where it
was stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Microscopic ex-
amination of the tissue showedmultilocular cystic cav-ities infiltrating adjacent bone. The cavities were lined
by nonkeratinized, stratified, squamous epithelium.
The presence of whorls of epithelial cells containing
mucous-secreting (glandular) cells was found. The
pathologist’s diagnosis was glandular odontogenic
cyst. On final pathologic sections, resected margins
were free of cyst.
The patient returned for surgery after a 5-monthhealing period. Under general anesthesia, a transport

segmental osteotomywas carried out in order to place
2 bone distractors (Dynaform, Leibinger, Kalamazoo,
MI). On raising a mucoperiosteal flap in the vestibule,
vertical osteotomies were made distal to teeth 4 and
12, and bone distractors placed simultaneously on
both sides using 2 transport plates. The vestibular mu-
coperiosteum was maintained attached to the trans-
port segments. Devices used had 2 lower arms thatwere attached to the neck of the teeth with wires
and 2 upper arms that were fixed to the bone using
2.0 mm by 7.0 mm screws. In order to guide and con-
trol the direction of the vector and to diminish the
pressure of the soft tissues over transport segments,
a band-sported orthodontic arch was constructed
and cemented (Figures 3 and 4). The healing process
was uneventful.Distraction phase started after a 7-day latency period
at a rate of 0.5 mm in the morning and 0.5 mm at night
for a total of 1.0 mm per day, achieving 11.05 mm dur-
ing 11 days. The distractor was left in place for 3
months to allow consolidation (Figures 5 and 6) and re-
moved under local anesthesia. A panoramic radio-
graph showed the success of the technique with
newly formed bone. Because bony union in the mid-line was not achieved, another distractor (Dynaform,
Leibinger) was used to reduce the size of the gap. Final
gap closure was accomplished using an iliac crest
bone graft secured withminiplates, and themucosa re-
positioned without tension (Figures 7 and 8). An unde-
sirable side effect of distraction osteogenesis (DO) was
the loss of osseous support of teeth 4, 5, 11, and 12.
The teeth were eventually extracted because they af-fected both esthetics and function.

Three months later, 6 titanium implants to replaceteeth 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 were placed in the newly formed
maxillary ridges, achieving excellent primary stability
(Figure 9). Final prosthetic rehabilitation consisted
of an implant-supported overdenture (Figure 10). A
9-year follow-up period shows no evidence of recur-
rence of the pathology, complete bone union at the
docking site, adequate shape and amount of bone,
functional dental and occlusal rehabilitation, and pa-tient satisfaction (Figures 11 and 12).
Discussion
GOC is considered a rare, aggressive lesion of the
jaw bones with unusual histopathologic features and
high recurrence rate when treated conservatively.14-21
Its frequency ranges from 0.012%17 to 1.3%22, and its
prevalence is as low as 0.17%.23 There is a slightmale predilection, and lesions occur mainly in the
mandible of middle-aged persons.9,18,24 The most
common clinical presentation is a painless swelling
in the face associated with the anterior mandible.

Radiographically, it can present as either a unilocular
or multilocular radiolucent lesion usually large in size.8
The literature offers many options for GOC, ranging
from conservative to aggressive methods. Despite the
fact that GOC’s tendency to recur when treated con-servatively was noted by Gardner and Morency in
19935, clinicians seemed to favor conservative
methods, such as excision, enucleation, curettage,
and extirpation.10,14,20,25 In 1995, however, Hussain
et al,15 advocated for en bloc excision and primary re-
construction to ensure cure.
Recurrence, which ranges from 29% to 55%,4 is
thought to be due to the thin capsule, presence ofmicrocysts that canmake complete removal a challeng-
ing task19 and invasion through medullar spaces.15,26
Therefore, recurrence is related not only to the
biology of the lesion, but also to the type of treatment

chosen.11,15,18 This observation played a key role inthe shift noted during the mid- to late-2000s toward
the more radical methods that are in vogue
today.4,9,12,16,18,19 In 2002, when we decided to treat
our patient by means of partial maxillectomy, many
authors advocated for conservative options. Our first
consideration was enucleation, but as we took into
account the size of the lesion, the condition of the
cortical plates, the rhizolysis, the high recurrencerates when using enucleation or other conservative
procedures, and the patient’s possible negligence to
return periodically for follow-up appointments, it be-
came clear that the best surgical approach for him
was a partial maxillectomy and reconstruction of the
defect using bone transport distraction, titanium
implants, and an implant-supported overdenture.

DO is a biologic process through which new bone isgenerated through incremental lengthening of osseous
segments.27-29 During the past decade, this technique
has gained acceptation among clinicians for the
correction of bony defects. It not only avoids the
drawbacks of the maxillary obturator prosthesis (eg,
instability and incomplete seal)30 but also consum-
mates a concomitant increase in the alveolarmucosa,31
and in most cases, eliminates bone and soft tissuegrafts, thereby avoiding donor site morbidity.32-33
After a successful DO is achieved, titanium implants
can be placed, being the treatment of choice for
restoring function and esthetics.29-31,34
As we pointed out earlier, most articles regarding
GOC concentrate on its biologic behavior, histopatho-
logic, and radiographic features, and whether conser-
vative or aggressive surgical approaches should beused for its removal. To the best of our knowledge,
a very small number of papers report or discuss on
FIGURE 11. Appearance of the patient before surgery.

the rehabilitation phase for these patients. Hussain
et al,15 for example, treated their fourth case by wideresection of the lesion and reconstructed the body of
the mandible with contoured rib graft secured with
miniplates. Ch�avez and Richter16 treated their case
by resecting the lesion including 1 cm bony and soft
tissue margins with immediate reconstruction with
free-fibular graft and a reconstruction plate. For final
rehabilitation, they considered osseointegrated im-
plants. In 2006, Thor et al,4 reported a case in whicha marginal resection was performed and reconstruc-
tion with particulated bone graft, platelet-rich plasma,
vertical alveolar distraction, titanium implants, and fi-
nal prosthetic rehabilitation. More recently, in 2010,
Fujioka et al,35 published the case of a patient with
a maxillectomy defect (not caused by GOC) in which
bone transport distraction and dental implants were
used successfully.First introduced by orthopedists for lengthening
long bones,27 DO in the maxillofacial complex was
initially used to correct mandibular deficiencies and
advancement of maxilla and midface.36 In the dentoal-
veolar area, it was used to reconstruct vertical alveolar
defects and, later, in other situations (ie, advancing the
anterior maxilla, accelerating orthodontic treatment,
resolving dental crowding).37-40 Although thetechnique is used to reconstruct a myriad of clinical
situations and appears to be well tolerated, DO is not
without its drawbacks. Complications associated
with this procedure include fractures of basal bone,
fracture of transport segment, breakage of distractor,
mechanical problems, and infection.41-42
The current number of reported cases of GOC is
small. Therefore, many doubts exist about its biologi-cal behavior and treatment methods. Recurrence is re-
lated mainly to 2 factors: biology of the lesion and
incomplete removal of the lining after conservative
treatment. Rehabilitation methods and techniques
used to correct the bony defect created by surgical

resection are not well documented, with only a few pa-
pers discussing this important topic. In this case, tita-
nium implants over distracted bone are reported to
be a reliable method for reconstructing the bony de-
fect created by a partial maxillectomy. This case will
add to the existing knowledge of GOC by providing
valuable information on a successful reconstruction
scheme after partial maxillectomy.
