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.

Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor has recently been described in the soft tissues. It is a rare benign lesion characterized by the presence of abundant hyalinized collagen with psammomatous or dystrophic calcifications and lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate.

  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 treatment of symptomatic calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff is usally medical. Whereas, chronic and painfull features can beneficiate of a surgical treatment. With shoulder arthroscopy it's possible to remove the type A and B calcifications and to perform a bursectomy and acromioplasty in type C uncollected. The clinical and radiological results with one year of follow-up upgrate 90%...
