Abstract
The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumor constitutes around 1% of all odontogenic tumours involving the jaw. The intraosseous and extraosseous variant constitutes about 95% and 5% of CEOT respectively. We have reported two CEOT cases. One is associated with an impacted left third molar in the maxilla of 39-year-old female patient, and the other with a sessile soft tissue gingival mass in the left molar region of a 30-year-old female patient. It also emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging and peculiar findings of computed tomography in diagnosing this rare tumour. The visualization of the internal structure of the lesion and the involvement of the neighbouring structures were considered very helpful for diagnosis and treatment planning. Early detection and treatment planning for such rare cases is required to prevent further complications.
