Article Synopsis
- The calcifying odontogenic cystic tumor (CCOT) is a benign growth often mistaken for a cyst, distinguished by its unique ghost cells that may calcify.
- It typically occurs in individuals in their 30s, with no significant gender differences or location preferences between the maxilla and mandible, usually affecting areas from incisors to bicuspids.
- A case study highlighted involved a large CCOT in the right maxilla, treated initially with surgical decompression, leading to successful partial remission followed by complete removal, with no complications post-surgery.
