Pindborg tumor, the eponymous counterpart of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm that was first described by a Dutch pathologist Jens Jorgen Pindborg in 1955 and accounts for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumors. Its origin as well as its malignant potential is controversial. This neoplasm is possibly of stratum intermedium origin and occurring predominantly in the mandible of adults. We hereby report a case of Pindborg tumor arising in the premaxilla which is seldom (9 out of 200 cases) documented in the scientific literature.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) and ameloblastoma are types of odontogenic tumors accounting for 1%, and 10% of all the odontogenic tumors. While sharing same odontogenic origin, these tumors are found to exhibit distinct clinicopathological features. In the present study, we present the third hybrid CEOT/Ameloblastoma tumor ever reported.

Calcified epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) with extension to the maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses is currently unreported.
