Abstract

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT/Pindborg Tumor) is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm which was first described by J. J. Pindborg in 1955. It accounts for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumors. A rare case of CEOT is presented here and the literature of CEOT is reviewed.
