The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumors. Its origin is controversial as well as its true malignant potential. A case of an advanced CEOT associated with an impacted right second molar in the mandible of a young black female patient is presented. Computed tomography imaging, radiographic and pathological findings, surgical patterns, gross anatomy of the lesion and the performed treatment are discussed.
Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT) of the Mandible: Clinical Therapeutic Conference
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2005
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic lesion that comprises from 0.2% to 1.1 of all odontogenic tumors. In the past a number of different names have been given to this lesion, such as calcifying ameloblastoma, cystic complex odontoma, uncommon ameloblastoma with calcifications and others. There is a need to study and explore various aspects of this tumour, this article gives a broad idea of the various aspects of this tumor and which aspect of this tumour needs more investigation Over the years, there have been a lot of articles published regarding CEOT, but none of them have a concised description regarding all the aspects of this particular tumor, and there have been over lap of description regarding this tumor from different authors and this is one of the big difficulties in understanding the exact nature of this lesion. This article is an attempt to describe all the aspect of this DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v13i1.17378

Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumour (CEOT) or Pindborg tumour is a rare odontogenic tumour of epithelial origin. They constitute less than 1% of odontogenic tumours. Intra-ossseous variant of CEOT are more common compared to extra-osseous variant. Although benign, these can exhibit deceptively aggressive presentation. Here we report a rare case of CEOT in a 36-year-old female patient who presented with aggressive intra-osseous lesion with cortical breach and exuberant soft tissue proliferation. The lesion was treated with resection and reconstructed with titanium reconstruction plate.
Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor
Case Reports in Pathology, 2013
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 region of the left mandibular body with hyperdense areas inside and was associated with element 37. An incisional biopsy of the lesion was performed and the histopathological analysis revealed the presence of layers of epithelial odontogenic cells that formed prominent intercellular bridges. A large quantity of extracellular, eosinophilic, and amyloid-like material and an occasional formation of concentric calcifications (Liesegang rings) were also found. The histopathological diagnosis was a Pindborg tumor. Resection of the tumor with a safety margin was performed and after 6 months of follow-up there has been no sign of recurrence of the lesion.
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor: A clinico-radio-pathological dilemma
Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics, 2014
The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign neoplasm of mandible in adults. The presentation of this entity is varied and often confused with a variety of mucosal and jaw lesions and clinical, radiological, and pathological feature of CEOT often-mimic malignancy. The objective of this report is to highlight the clinical features and radiological findings which should arouse suspicion of a benign lesion and importance of providing adequate clinical information to the pathologist to attain accurate diagnosis. We discussed two cases with tumors located in the maxilla. Both presented as expansile lesions with one biopsy proven squamous cell carcinoma. Both were pursued with clinico-radiological suspicion of benign lesions and confirmed with pathological correlation of histology and immunohistochemistry as CEOT. Therefore a High index of suspicion and clinico-radiological information are the key feature for diagnosis of this rare tumor.
A Rare Occurrence of Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor in a Young Female
Journal natural science, biology and medicine, 2021
IntroductIon Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) or Pindborg tumor is a rare benign odontogenic tumor, [1] which constitutes only 0.3%-0.4% of all benign odontogenic tumors. CEOT has two variants: intraosseous and extraosseous, with an incidence rate of 94% and 6%, respectively. [2] Intraosseous type of CEOTs has a propensity to occur in the mandibular molar ramus region, while the extraosseous tumors are frequently discovered in the anterior jaw and involve the gingiva. It is a painless swelling, associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth. The treatment of CEOT ranges from simple excision to extensive resection. The rate of recurrence varies from 10% to 15% and requires periodic follow-up. Here, we present a distinctive case of CEOT of the mandible.

A calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as a Pindborg tumor, is a benign odontogenic neoplasm first described by the Danish pathologist, Dr Jens Pindborg, in 1955. 1 CEOT is an uncommon, locally aggressive tumor that accounts for 0.4% to 3% of all odontogenic tumors. Since 2004, approximately 200 cases of CEOT have been reported. Because the tumor is so rare, its biological characteristics have not been adequately studied. The authors present the case of a 50year-old woman with CEOT and the results of immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies.
Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor: A Case Report
Journal of Nepal Medical Association
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare benign odontogenic tumor which accounts for approximately 1% of the entire odontogenic tumor. It was firstly described by Pindborg, and thus, is also referred to as the “Pindborg tumor”. Histologically, Pindborg tumor consists of three distinct histological components: sheets of polyhedral epithelial cells, amyloid like deposits, and calcifications. This case report describes a case of Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor in 26 years old female patient presented with the swelling in right posterior region of mandible. Taking into account of the aggressive nature of the lesion segmental resection of the mandible followed by reconstruction was planned for treatment. This case report highlights the importance of appropriate clinical, radiographical and histological correlation for the correct diagnosis and treatment of Pindborg tumor.
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor- Review of literature
International dental journal of student's research, 2023
The Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT), also known as Pindborg tumour, is a rare odontogenic neoplasm makes up 1% of all odontogenic tumours, characterized by its distinct histopathological features and challenging clinical management. CEOTs are benign epithelial odontogenic tumour that secretes an amyloid protein tending towards calcification, however they can be locally aggressive and have recurrence rates of 10% to 15%. This comprehensive review aims to provide a detailed overview of the CEOT, encompassing its epidemiology, clinical findings, radiographic features, histopathological characteristics and therapeutic strategies.
