Pindborg Tumor, A Rare Entity: Clinical Case Report

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also called Pindborg tumor, presents a rare and extensive diversity in clinical, histopathological features, and biological behavior. Through this work, we expose a case of a 14‐year‐old male with a complaint of gradually increasing swelling on the left lower facial region for 18 months. On oral examination, a hard and fixed swelling, involving the left mandible, was noted extending from the mandibular second premolar to the second molar region. Radiographic examination showed a well‐demarcated radiolucent lesion causing an expansion of the vestibular cortex. Surgical enucleation, along with curettage, was carried out under local anesthesia, and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of CEOT. The accurate final diagnosis needs to be established through a combination of clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic analysis. Diagnostic accuracy is essential to provide adequate treatment. However, regular follow-up over time allows us to monitor the stability of the case and prevent recurrence.
