Abstract

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) or Pindborg tumor is a rare tumor which accounts for < 1% of all odontogenic tumors. It usually affects patients between the 3rd and 4th decades of life, however a wide age range from 8 to 92 years has been reported. This neoplasm may be associated with erupted or unerupted teeth. There are both intraosseous and extraosseous variants of CEOT and the posterior part of mandible is the most common location. We present an interesting case of CEOT involving the left side of the maxilla associated with unerupted canine and premolar in an 11‑year‑old girl.
