Pindborg tumour: A case report

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a benign epithelial odontogenic lesion that accounts for less than 1% of all odontogenic tumors. CEOT is usually asymptomatic and an incidental radiological finding, often presenting as a mandibular radiolucency with flecks of calcified material. We report a case of CEOT in the right posterior maxilla of a 24-year-old female that was associated with an ectopic unerupted tooth. The tumour in this case caused mild pain and appeared radiographically similar to an odontoma or Ameloblastic fibro-odontome, due to its dense calcified contents. Diagnosis was confirmed through histopathology. This case report highlights the unusual clinical and radiographic appearence of Pindborg tumor.

Case report and review of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign neoplasia, locally aggressive, that tends to invade bone and adjacent soft tissues. CEOT accounts for less than 1% of all odontogenic tumors. This article reports two cases of CEOT with different mode of presentation clinically, radiologically and histologically.

Differences between calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor and calcifying odontogenic cyst through panoramic radiograph: a scoping review

Objectives: This review article is aimed to describe the radiographic features of CEOT and COC to determine the differences between the two lesions on panoramic radiographs. Review: This research is a descriptive study using scoping review method based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis for Scoping Review (PRISMA-Scr). This study examines English and Indonesian articles of CEOT and COC with panoramic radiography as a diagnostic tool published in 2015 – 2021. Relevant articles were obtained from searches using keywords and inclusion criteria on PubMed, PMC NCBI, and hand searching techniques. A total of 32 articles were identified at initial study identification. Duplication, title and abstract, and full-text inspection consecutively excluded 1, 3, and 8 articles. A total of 20 eligible articles were included in this study, 10 cases of Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor and 10 cases of Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst. Conclusion: The differences between COC and CEOT on panoramic radiographs are COC is more commonly found in the anterior region than CEOT and COC tends to occur in the periapical or lateral part of adjacent teeth and causes root resorption, whereas CEOT tends to be located at the crown of impacted teeth. There aren’t any pathognomonic radiographic findings from the CEOT and COC, so a definitive diagnosis still requires histopathological analysis.

An Aggressive Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor: A Rare Case Report

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is an epithelial origin locally aggressive benign odontogenic tumor. It is an extremely rare neoplasm comprise of <1 % of all odontogenic tumors. It manifests clinically as asymptomatic, slow-growing, and locally aggressive lesion which causes expansion of the affected bone. About 400 cases of CEOT (calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor) are reported in the literature. This article reported a case 18 years old female with a locally aggressive calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving the mandible, without much disfigurement of the face. Aim: The aim of this article to put a drop of water in the ocean of literature. Report a case with aggressive nature.
