Mixed odontogenic tumor: Ameloblastoma and calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor.

Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic neoplasm of slow growth that is locally aggressive and tends to invade bone and adjacent soft tissue. Here is reported the case of a 21-year-old female patient with a CEOT in the left mandibular posterior region. The computerized tomography in coronal plane revealed a hypodense lesion in the posterior reg...

Recurrent Peripheral Calcifying Cystic Odontogenic Tumor (Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst)

  Peripheral calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (PCCOT) is a rare odontogenic lesion, which represents about 1% of jaw cysts. Here we report clinicopathologic, radiographic and CT scan images of a new case of recurrent large PCCOT located in mandibular gingiva in a 77-year-old male with history of a nodular mass in the same area, which had been completely excised 3 years ago. In reviewing the...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (Pindborg tumor)

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm which was first described by Pindborg in 1955 representing only 1% of all odontogenic tumors. The tumor has an ectodermal odontogenic origin. This tumor are considered benign but can be locally aggressive in nature with recurrence rates of 10-15% reported. Surgical treatment varies from simply enucleation t...

Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (pindborg Tumor)

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is rare. It may mimic both a non-odontogenic or odontogenic tumour causing expansion and destruction of the involved bones. Histopathology is the main stay for definitive diagnosis. Treatment options vary from enucleation to hemi mandibulectomy or maxillectomy followed by reconstruction. We present a young female patient with CEOT in an attempt to create ...
