Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor: a case series spanning 25 years and review of the literature.
OBJECTIVE: The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign neoplasm that makes up less than 1% of all odontogenic tumors. This study aims to describe a case series of CEOT spanning 25 years and to review and compare our results with the existing literature.
STUDY DESIGN: With institutional review board approval, all CEOT archival cases from the University of Florida Oral Pathology Biopsy Service between 1994 and 2019 were retrieved. A total of 20 cases were included. Based on current criteria, 2 cases that stained positively for CD1 a were excluded, because these most likely represented the amyloid-rich variant of central odontogenic fibroma.
RESULTS: Average patient age was 40 years. Females and males were affected equally (n = 10). The mandible was more commonly involved (60%, n = 12) than the maxilla (40%, n = 8). CEOT variants included incipient CEOT (10%, n = 2) and peripheral CEOT (10%, n = 2). One case exhibited features of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in addition to CEOT. Congo red staining for amyloid was performed in 13 cases, all of which were positive.
CONCLUSION: Our results align with the literature. Awareness of the different variants of CEOT and of the separate but similar-appearing amyloid-rich variant of central odontogenic fibroma will help to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
