Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign lesion. A case of CEOT in the left mandible of a 46-year-old man is presented. This case is exceptionally unusual because it was left untreated for 10 years, indicating in some way the course of the tumor. Histologic findings both at the time of first diagnosis and at the final treatment 9 years later were identical.
牙源性钙化上皮瘤(CEOT)是一种罕见的良性病变。本文报告一例46岁男性左下颌骨的牙源性钙化上皮瘤病例。该病例极为罕见,因为它未经治疗长达10年,在某种程度上显示了肿瘤的病程。首次诊断时及9年后最终治疗时的组织学检查结果相同。
