Calcifying_epithelial_odontogenic_tumor
The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as a Pindborg tumor, is an odontogenic tumor first recognized by the Danish pathologist Jens Jørgen Pindborg in 1955.[1] It was previously described as an adenoid adamantoblastoma, unusual ameloblastoma and a cystic odontoma.[1] Like other odontogenic neoplasms, it is thought to arise from the epithelial element of the enamel origin.[1] It is a typically benign and slow growing, but invasive neoplasm.[1][2]
