Abstract:

  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 literature, we found 55 previous reported cases with a mean age of 48.8 yr at the time of diagnosis. A majority of cases appear as a circumscribed nodule less than 1.5 cm in greatest diameter, without bony involvement. No case larger than 4cm in diameter has been reported. Only one case of recurrent PCCOT was seen in reported cases.

Calcifying Cystic Odontogenic Tumor with Compound Odontoma

Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) previously known as calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a relatively rare lesion. It was first reported as a separate pathologic entity by Gorlin et al in 1962 as a likely analog of the cutaneous calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe or pilomatricoma. Because of the diverse clinicohistologic features and the various neoplastic potential, there have been ...

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...
