ABSTRACT

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumor which can occur extraosseous or intraosseous. The etiopathogenesis of CEOT is not known. It has a propensity toward mandibular molar ramus region and has no sex predilection. The treatment of choice for CEOT ranges from either enucleation, curettage to enucleation, marginal/segmental resection, and radical and extensive resection (hemimandibulectomy) or hemimaxillectomy. This case report describes an incidence and clinical management of CEOT in a young female patient.
