Abstract
CEOT is a rare benign, locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm, that affects the jaw. This slow-growing neoplasm occurring as intraosseous (94%) and extraosseous (6%) variants and with a frequency of 1-2%. The presentation of both intraosseous and extraosseous types is similar and both have similar histological features. Intraosseous CEOT is more aggressive, with a reported recurrence rate of 14%. The intraosseous CEOT shows a maxilla: mandible site ratio of 1:2 and are mainly located in the premolar/molar region. Even though, maxillary neoplasms should be treated more aggressively because of their close proximity to vital structures than mandibular lesions. Treatment modalities varies depends on the tumour size, location and histology. This case report emphasizing the importance of treatment modalities for a rare recurrent case of CEOT of maxilla.
