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...

Odontogenic tumor: Indian scenario

Odontogenic tumors are lesions arising from or associated with odontogenic apparatus, their remnants or their derivatives. They are considered to be rare lesions, and as per the reported studies, they consist of 3%–9% of all biopsied specimens.[1‐13] The classification of odontogenic tumors is dynamic. It is modified regularly, as our understanding and perception of the nature and behavior of t...

Cystic Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) is a well-established benign epithelial lesion of odontogenic origin. Rightfully called "the master of disguise," this lesion has been known for its varied clinical and histoarchitectural patterns. Not only does AOT predominantly present radiologically as a unilocular cystic lesion enclosing the unerupted tooth (which is commonly mistaken as a dentigerous cys...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor.

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is usually an asymptomatic slow growth lesion. When grown, one can palpate a hard and large lesion. It is common for the tumor to cause shifting of neighboring teeth because tumor expansion is more common than teeth root resorption. Radiographically, there is a unilocular mass involving an unerupted tooth, sometimes opaque in the center and sclerotic in t...
