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 of the Mandible

The calcified epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as Pindborg tumor, is a rare benign but locally aggressive lesion. Usually this tumor is located in the molar premolar region of the lower jaw. There is no sex predilection and the lesion most frequently occurs during the fourth and fifth decade of life.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor of the maxilla.

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign neoplasm; it comprises only 0.6 % to 1.7 % of all odontogenic tumors. Most cases involve the posterior mandible; there have been few reported maxillary cases. Although its biological behavior is relatively indolent, maxillary lesions tend to grown rapidly and not be circumscribed. Treatment of the CEOT consists of surgical remo...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (Pindborg tumor)

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm which was first described by Pindborg in 1955 representing only 1% of all odontogenic tumors. The tumor has an ectodermal odontogenic origin. This tumor are considered benign but can be locally aggressive in nature with recurrence rates of 10-15% reported. Surgical treatment varies from simply enucleation t...
