Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour: a case showing features of malignancy

Abstract: A case of malignant calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour is reported in a 7.'j-year-old man. Evidence of local tissue invasion and lymph-node metastasis is presented. Immunoperoxidase studies of the neoplastic cells and tumour amyloid were negative for a variety of antigens, including the epithelial markers CEA and keratin. The histological and clinical findings arc discussed.

“…[4,5] It is a rare entity, and represent less than 1% of all odontogenic tumors possibly of stratum inter-medium origin. This idea is based on the morphological similarity of the tumor cells to the normal cells of the stratum inter-medium, and high activity of alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphate.…”
