title: The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor. A review of recent literature and report of a case.
abstract: The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) was described as an entity by Pindborg in 1955. In 1976 a review of the world literature comprising 113 cases was published. Since then, several studies concerned with pathological aspects of this tumor have appeared. Many of these studies have focused on the nature of the amyloid-like material present in CEOT. In this paper a new case is presented and the literature after 1976 is reviewed with respect to histopathological aspects of CEOT.
