title: Peripheral Clear Cell Variant of Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor: Case Report and Review of the Literature.
abstract: Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is classified as an uncommon, benign, odontogenic neoplasm that is exclusively epithelial in origin. Of all reported cases, peripheral tumors account for 5-6 %, among which clear cell variants are still rare. A rare case of peripheral clear cell variant of CEOT occurring in the mandibular gingiva of a 47-year-old female is presented.
