The diagnostic and surgical management of a multifocal calcifiyng epithelial odontogenic tumor in the mandible and maxilla associated with a squamous odontogenic tumor: first reported case in the literature.
The calcifiyng epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) and the squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) are rare and benign odontogenic tumors that affect the jaw. This article describes the diagnostic and surgical management of a multifocal CEOT in the mandible and maxilla associated with an SOT. This case is the first to demonstrate that there may be a multifocal variant of CEOT associated with an SOT that has not been previously recognized. Clinical, radiographic, and histologic signs are reported. Treatment modality, oral rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up are shown. Because of the rarity of this kind of simultaneous pathologic association, it is of paramount, and indeed obvious, importance to prospective reviewers that published reports are produced meticulously, including all clinically, radiographically, and histologically relevant data.
