# An Exuberant Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor in the Posterior Maxilla: A Case Report

## TL;DR

A rare case of a calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor in the maxilla is reported, highlighting successful surgical treatment and the need for long-term monitoring.

## Contribution

This report adds a rare clinical case of CEOT in the maxilla with multidisciplinary management and no recurrence at 16 months.

## Key findings

- A 52-year-old male presented with a painless, growing mass and facial asymmetry due to CEOT.
- Conservative surgical excision preserved function and aesthetics with no recurrence after 16 months.
- Multidisciplinary management is crucial for favorable outcomes in complex anatomical regions.

## Abstract

This case report presents a rare instance of a Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT) in the maxilla of a 52-year-old male, characterized by a painless, growing mass and facial asymmetry. Imaging revealed extensive involvement of the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, pterygoid plate, and infraorbital margin. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis, showing polyhedral odontogenic epithelium with amyloid-like material. The patient underwent conservative surgical excision, preserving function and aesthetics, with no recurrence observed at 16 months postoperatively. This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing CEOT, particularly in complex anatomical regions, to achieve favorable outcomes. Long-term follow-up remains essential.
