Glandular odontogenic cyst coexisting with actinomycosis: A rare case report

Abstract

Jaw lesions such as radicular cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, osteomyelitis associated with Actinomyces have been reported by many authors in the literature. Actinomycotic colonization in developmental cysts like GOC is extremely rare. So far in the literature search, the previous reports have not described actinomyces co-existing with GOC to our knowledge. Herein, we report a rare case report of GOC coexisting with actinomycotic colonies and pathogenesis of actinomycosis associated with odontogenic cyst.
