Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign, but locally infiltrating odontogenic neoplasm. It accounts for less than 1% of all odontogenic tumors. In approximately 52% of the cases, the tumor is associated with impacted teeth and is twice as prevalent in the mandible than the maxilla. This paper presents a case of CEOT associated with an impacted mandibular canine which is very rare and adds on to the previous mentioned CEOTs in the literature.
