Abstract
Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) are uncommon benign slow-growing cysts of developmental origin partly exhibiting
characteristics of a neoplasm. Until date, the exact behavior of CCOT had been enigmatic and still the lesion portrays a platform to be debatable.
The lesion has been reviewed and readdressed from the date first reported about its diverse clinical and histopathological features. The name
of the lesion itself has undergone extensive review for the same reason. We report a case of calcifying odontogenic cyst in the mandible with
a review of the literature. This paper also highlights the update on nomenclature and classification.
