Abstract
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as Pindborg's tumor, is a rare benign odontogenic tumor of locally aggressive behavior. The most frequent location is the mandibular premolar and molar area; less frequently, the lesion is found in the maxilla, typically in the fourth to fifth decades. It usually starts as a painless swelling and is often concurrent with an impacted tooth. A case of CEOT in a 21-year-old male showed up in the right body of the mandible and ramus region was described. Clinical, radiological, histopathological features and treatment were discussed. This tumor was managed by surgical removal and reconstruct of the mandible using a reconstruction plate. The case was followed up for 3 months postoperatively.
