The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), Pindborg tumor is a benign, slow growing, but locally invasive neoplasm. It is known to have a common intraosseous variant and a very rare extraosseous variant. We report an unusual case of an extraosseous variant of CEOT of unusual large size and maxillary anterior location, the treatment was planned considering the clinical, radiological and...

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as the Pindborg tumor, is a benign locally invasive neoplasm. Common variants of CEOT include noncalcifying, Langerhans cell, bone and cementum forming and clear cell, which have a prognostic significance. Pigmented variants are known to occur in other odontogenic tumors. However, a definitive pigmented variant of CEOT has not been ...

Pindborg or calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a benign and noninvasive tumor that presents poor clinical features, a typical radiological picture and a characteristic histomorphology. CEOT is an uncommon odontogenic neoplasm, representing only 1% of all odontogenic tumors. The average age of occurrence is around 40 years with almost 1:1 gender ratio. It shows a mandible:maxilla ...

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:166-70) Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rarely reported benign tumor, accounting for 0.4-3% of all odontogenic tumors. Approximately 150 cases have been reported in the literature between 1958 and 2003. The age range of CEOT varies from 8 to 92 years with mean of 36.9 years, and the occurrence of the lesion in both genders is almos...
