Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), first identified by Jens Jorgen Pindborg in 1955, is a rare developmental odontogenic tumor, accounting for approximately 0.4% of all such tumors and most commonly occurring in the third and fourth decades of life. A 63-year-old man presented with a painful swelling in the right lower face, which had progressively enlarged over four months. Clinical and radiological findings revealed a dentoalveolar abscess with an osteolytic lesion mimicking involving the mandibular ramus and an impacted tooth. Histopathological examination confirmed CEOT. This case is notable due to its unusual presentation, mimicking dental osteomyelitis and occurring in an older individual, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostic evaluation in atypical cases.

Peripheral odontogenic myxoma (POM), a rare and extra-osseous variant of odontogenic myxoma (OM), is classified as a relatively rare benign odontogenic tumour, yet presenting with locally aggressive behaviour and a wide range of variable clinical presentations. The objective of this case report is to present a patient who reported with the complaint of pus discharge in upper front region of the jaw, in the past one month. No associated history of tooth loss, impacted teeth or intracanal infection was noted clinically as well as radiographically.

Odontogenic tumors are rare lesions with varied clinical presentations and behaviors. A dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare odontogenic neoplasm that can be classified into central (intraosseous) and peripheral (extraosseous) types, with a central DGCT often presenting as a bone-expanding lesion. We report a case of a multimorbid 66-year-old male patient with a central DGCT presenting as a painless, 3 × 5.

Dentigerous cysts frequently develop as odontogenic cysts in the oral cavity that can occasionally progress to neoplasms. Tumor from dentigerous cysts is uncommon, with only 42 occurrences documented in the literature. This case report describes a 73-year-old male who developed primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma after a dentigerous cyst.

Background: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the relative representation of individual types of developmental odontogenic cysts (DOCs), especially from the perspective of syndromic and non-syndromic multiple DOCs in the Czech population. In addition, we also summarize the previous studies on the occurrence of multiple DOCs and provide a literature review of case reports and case series on non-syndromic multiple DOCs, particularly dentigerous cysts (DCs) and odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs).
Methods: The study included histologically confirmed DOCs retrieved between January 1, 2012, and August 8, 2023, at the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic.
