Pindborg tumor, a rare calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, typically affects adults in the mandible. This case highlights a rare pediatric instance in the maxillary incisal area, emphasizing the need for thorough follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
  • Odontogenic Neoplasms
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Pindborg tumor (calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor) is a rare benign neoplasm.
  • Typically diagnosed around age 40, with no significant gender predilection.
  • Most common in the mandibular premolar/molar region; rare in the maxilla or maxillary sinus.

Observation:

  • Presents a unique case of Pindborg tumor.
  • Characterized by an unusual location in the maxillary incisal area.
  • Occurred in a significantly younger patient, a nine-year-old child.

Findings:

  • Surgical enucleation is the recommended treatment for small lesions.
  • Complete surgical removal with clear margins is crucial to minimize recurrence risk.

  • Long-term follow-up is advised due to reported late recurrences.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical presentation of Pindborg tumors.
    • Highlights the importance of considering rare presentations in pediatric dentistry and oral surgery.
    • Underscores the necessity of vigilant long-term monitoring for calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors.
