Dr. Saravanan. R, Dr. Jamaludin Mohammed Farzan

Abstract :

 The calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst (CEOC) was first delineated in 1962. Calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst (CEOC), is a rarebenign odontogenic cyst of locally aggressive behavior. It is more common in the posteriorpart of the mandible,typically in the fourth to fifth decades. It usually starts as apainless swelling and is often concurrent with an impacted tooth with notable presence of histopathological features which include a cystic lining demonstrating characteristic “Ghost” epithelial cells with a propensity to calcify. In addition, the COC may be associated with other recognized odontogenic tumors. This gives rise to a spectrum of variants of COC according to clinical, histopathological, and radiological characteristics.This article presents one such entity of case report of CEOC with good prognosis and no recurrence .
