Abstract
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is rare benign tumor occurring most commonly in the mandible. Here we describe a 27-year-old woman with CEOT in the left side of the maxilla. Radiographic examination revealed inpaction of 13 5. A well-defined cystic lesion with a granular-shaped radiopaque appearance surrounded 13. Under general anesthesia, the tumor was enucleated, and 1 3 5 was removed.Histopathologically, tumor cells were polygonal and some had intercellular bridges. Tumor cells were arranged like pavement, surrounding a concentric area of calcification. In addition, eosinophilic amyloid-like substances with a homogenous appearance were seen in the parenchyma.The diagnosis was CEOT.
