CT and MR Imaging Appearances of an Extraosseous Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (Pindborg Tumor)

We herein report a rare case of extraosseous calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor with local aggressive behavior. CT and MR imaging showed the distinctive appearances of this histologic entity. We briefly discuss the radiologic features of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor and the relevant...
