Multicystic Variant of Calcifying Cystic Odontogenic Tumor Associated with Odontome – Report of a Case and Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor is an uncommon odontogenic neoplasm which is included in the heterogenous group of lesions under a broader description of Ghost cell odontogenic tumors. All these lesions have the presence of ghost cells as a common feature. Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor is a unique lesion with variable biologic behaviour and found to occur with other odontogenic tumours. We present a case of Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor occurring in a 15 year old boy involving an unerupted permanent canine and premolar. The tumor was multicystic in nature and was associated with a complex odontome. This article also includes an update on nomenclature and classification of ghost cell odontogenic lesions.

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...

The human jaw is an exclusive habitat for odontogenic lesions. Ghost cells associated odontogenic lesions are a diverse group with a variety of presentations in the jaws. Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor is a benign cystic neoplasm of odontogenic origin which demonstrates ghost cells in the epithelial component. This tumor sometimes mimics the features of a cyst clinically and radiographical...
متن کاملAggressive calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor masquerading as maxillary sinus tumor: a case report.
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. Its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is very rare. Maxillary tumors tend to be locally aggressive and may rapidly involve the surrounding vital structures. We report a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving maxillary sinus in a 48 years old female patient with the oral mucosal involvement. The purpose o...
