A clinicopathologic study on calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor: with special reference to Langerhans cell variant

BACKGROUND Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumour, and its Langerhans cell variant is even rarer. Due to the limited number of recorded cases, the biological behaviour and histogenesis of the Langerhans cell variant of CEOT are not yet fully understood. Thus, the correlation between conventional CEOT and the Langerhans cell variant remains to be clar...

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...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor: a case report.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign lesion. A case of CEOT in the left mandible of a 46-year-old man is presented. This case is exceptionally unusual because it was left untreated for 10 years, indicating in some way the course of the tumor. Histologic findings both at the time of first diagnosis and at the final treatment 9 years later were identical.

Aggressive 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...
