Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare entity comprising about 1% of all odontogenic tumors.  It usually occurs in the fourth to sixth decades of life and commonly seen in mandibular posterior regions with or without an impacted teeth. The diagnosis of this entity is dependant mostly on histopathology.  We report an unusual case of a patient having CEOT in a less common location showing presence of diffuse bizarre cells, raising a suspicion of malignancy. The objective of this report is to highlight the rare presentation and its histopathologic importance in the diagnosis of CEOT.
