Abstract

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is an uncommon, benign epithelial odontogenic tumor, first described in 1955 by Pindborg, with a locally aggressive behavior; it represents only 1% of the total odontogenic tumors. The origin of this locally invasive tumor remains unknown. It is thought to arise from stratum intermedium. It commonly affects the posterior mandible manifesting as a slow-growing asymptomatic swelling, often associated with an impacted tooth. The tumor usually occurs between the second and sixth decade of life and has no gender predilection. In this article we report a case of 73-year-old man with Pindborg tumor localized in lower right gum.
