SUMMARYFibromatosis is a rare and locally aggressive benign tumor arising from musculoaponeurotic structures. They are aggressive and tend to recur. Here we present a recurrent case of fibromatosis in a nineteen year old female focusing attention on the etiology, clinical presentation, pathology, various treatment options and modes of prevention of recurrence.
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare odontogenic tumor, accounts 0.4% to 3 % of all odontogenic tumors arising from odontogenic epithelium. Dr. Jens JorgenPindborg first described this unusual lesion; subsequently Shafer et al coined the term Pindborg tumor. It occurs most commonly in the 4th to 6th decade and bears no gender predilection. A case of CEOT in a 55 years old female extending from themesial aspect of right lower canine to the contralateral third molar region is described.
