Abstract:
The calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) simultaneously occurring with other lesions at different locations in the same patient is rare. We report a patient with CCOT associated with an odontoma, a supernumerary tooth, and a dentigerous cyst simultaneously occurring in the maxilla. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images showed a well-defined expansile lesion with internal calcification, high-density masses surrounded by low-density area, and a supernumerary tooth at the anterior maxilla. Posterolaterally to these lesions, an embedded canine with pericoronal radiolucency was detected. Histopathologic examination revealed a CCOT associated with an odontoma, a supernumerary tooth, and a dentigerous cyst of the embedded canine. Enucleation was performed, and a 2-year postoperative follow-up was uneventful. CBCT was useful in giving the differential diagnosis by depicting internal calcification of CCOT, and in revealing the extent and complex relationship of these lesions.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
