According to low incidence and unusual shape and location of this case, we decided to report the case. CASE REPORT: Here we present an asymptomatic case in anterior part of maxilla that radiographically was small and unilacular mimicking as a nasopalatine duct cyst. We have found it incidentally through radiographic evaluation before implant insertion. After enucleation and curettage, histopathologic evaluation revealed a glandular odontogenic cyst. In three months follow-up, no complication or recurrence was noticed, and the site of the lesion has filled with healthy bone. CONCLUSION: In some cases enbloc resection is suggested for glandular odontogenic cysts, but according to the size and locularity, there was no need for aggressive treatment. %> http://jbums.org/article-1-7231-en.pdf %P 73-69 %& 73 %! %9 case report %L A-10-3638-1 %+ Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Babol University of Medical Sciences, Babol, I.R Iran %G eng %@ 1561-4107 %[ 2018
