We herein report a rare case of extraosseous calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor with local aggressive behavior. CT and MR imaging showed the distinctive appearances of this histologic entity. We briefly discuss the radiologic features of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor and the relevant literature.

The combined epithelial odontogenic tumor is known to be an uncommon lesion characterized by the synchronous presentation of typical histological features of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, or Pindborg tumor. Combination between other types of odontogenic tumors has occasionally been reported in the literature. In this work we report 2 cases of adenomatoi...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare lesion. We report the imaging features of a calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor. The imaging including conventional radiograph, CT and MR imaging revealed a well-defined lesion in the alveolar bone of the left maxilla, which contained an impacted tooth and some small radiopacities. CT and MR imaging demonstrated a contrast enhancement mainly...

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...
