title: Clear cell calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor. A case report.
abstract: Clear cell variants of odontogenic tumors are rare. A case of clear cell calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor of the mandible in a 38-year-old Caucasian male is described. This case is compared to 8 previously reported cases. The origin of clear cells in odontogenic tumors is still unknown. En bloc resection of the tumor is recommended.
