Description
Summary:Key Clinical Message There has been a recent spike in reporting of noncalcifying variants of CEOT with the WHO 2022 classification of head and neck tumors. The present case describes a rare histopathological variant of CEOT of which a handful of cases have been reported. Abstract This work aimed to report a rare case of noncalcifying type of Pindborg Tumor involving the right mandible. The absence of calcifications in the calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor presents a diagnostic challenge and prognostic implications. A literature review of the 16 reported clinical cases of this scarce variant was performed.
