A case was reponed in which an odontogenic cyst that appeared to be a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted mandibular third molar was found histologically to demonstrate characteIistics of glanclu lar odontogenic cyst with para- and orthokeratinization. 까1ese histologic cliversities were interpreted as a reflection of the pluripotentiality of the epithelial remnants of the mandibular thircl molars or clentigerous cyst epithelium. It was conceivable that it would have the capacity of inclucing the fonnation of cysts with both squamous and glandular epithelium.
