“…22 In the current case, due to the high level of tumour maturity, there was considerable expansion and extensive calcification in the lesion that gave it a densely radiopaque appearance, which exceeded that usually seen in a CEOT and was more suggestive of a complex odontoma or mature central ossifying fibroma. [3][4][5] Despite the atypical radiological presentation, the lesion was histopathologically diagnostic of CEOT, displaying the distinctive histological features as described earlier in this report. CEOTs are thought to originate from the stratum intermedium or reduced enamel epithelium of odontogenic epithelium; hence their association with embedded teeth.…”

“…CEOTs are thought to originate from the stratum intermedium or reduced enamel epithelium of odontogenic epithelium; hence their association with embedded teeth. 3,4,17,23 Early histologic lesions resembling odontogenic cysts and tumours, including CEOT, have been found within dental follicles of third molars, and have potential to develop into true odontogenic cysts and tumours. 17,23,24 Therefore, it is possible that the CEOT presented here has developed from the follicle of the unerupted upper left third molar.…”

“…3 CEOT accounts for roughly 1% of all odontogenic tumours, has a wide age distribution with a mean of 43.5 years, and has no gender or ethnic predilection. 1,4,5 CEOT usually presents as an asymptomatic benign tumour; however, there may be swelling and non-specific pain depending on lesion size and relationship with neighbouring structures, such as the maxillary sinuses. Limited cases of malignant transformation have also been reported.…”

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT), or Pindborg tumour, is a rare, benign odontogenic tumour. CEOT is usually asymptomatic and an incidental radiological finding, often presenting as a mandibular radiolucency with flecks of calcific material. We report an unusual case of CEOT in the left posterior maxilla of a 46-year-old male that was associated with an unerupted tooth. The tumour in this case caused non-specific sinus symptoms and appeared radiographically similar to an odontoma or ossifying fibroma due to its dense calcific contents. Diagnosis was confirmed histologically following surgical removal of the lesion, which showed classic CEOT histomorphology. We report this case to highlight the unusual clinico-radiologic presentation and illustrate the diagnostic difficulties that can occur with radiolucent and/or radiopaque lesions in the jaws.Keywords: Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour, cone beam computed tomography, jaw radiolucency, jaw radiopacity, Pindborg tumour.Abbreviations and acronyms: AOT = adenomatoid odontogenic tumour; CBCT = cone beam computed tomography; CCOT = calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour; CEOT = calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour; COF = central ossifying fibroma; CT = conventional computed tomography; FOV = field of view.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic lesion that comprises from 0.2% to 1.1 of all odontogenic tumors. In the past a number of different names have been given to this lesion, such as calcifying ameloblastoma, cystic complex odontoma, uncommon ameloblastoma with calcifications and others. There is a need to study and explore various aspects of this tumour, this article gives a broad idea of the various aspects of this tumor and which aspect of this tumour needs more investigation

Odontogenic ghost cell tumor: A case report with cytologic findings

et al. 1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Odontogenic ghost cell tumor is a rare, neoplastic form of calcifying odontogenic cyst (Gorlin cyst) whose cytologic features have not been previously reported. We present a case of odontogenic ghost cell tumor diagnosed by fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). The aspirate was characterized by (1) tissue fragments with basaloid epithelial cells, (2) “ghost” cells, (3) scattered multinucleated giant cells, (4) rare, eosinophilic, densely hyalinized “dentinoid” material in close association with the basaloid cells, and (5) calcific debris. The aspirate was diagnosed as “consistent with odontogenic ghost cell tumor.” The cytologic features of odontogenic ghost cell tumor, as described, closely parallel the major histologic findings in this rare tumor. The differential diagnoses include other odontogenic tumors, squamous cell carcinoma, basaloid cell tumors of the salivary gland, and pilomatrixoma. Diagn.
