CEOTs are most often seen as a painless, slow growing swelling.
After digital radiography and MDCT evaluation, we made our first consideration of intraosseous (central) calcified epithelial odontogenic tumour (
CEOT).
The
CEOT is a rare odontogenic tumor, with an occurrence frequency of 0.1 to 1.8%.
They can originate fromvarious sources, including salivary gland tumors, metastatic renal cell carcinoma, melanotic tumors, and other odontogenic tumors, such as ameloblastoma and
CEOT [55].
Other lesions had a lower incidence, such as myxoma (3%), CCOT (3%), cementoblastoma (2%), COF (1%), and
CEOT (1%).
Based on these findings, a histopathologic diagnosis of
CEOT was made.
The selected tumors were four cases of follicular ameloblastomas (FA), four of ameloblastic fibro-odontomas (AFO), four of adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (AOT), four of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors (
CEOT) and four of odontogenic myxomas (OM).

Sin embargo, debemos senalar que no hay unidad de criterio con relacion al
CEOT, llegandose incluso a criticarla por contener concepciones eclecticas (Massiris Cabeza 2002).
