A clear cell variant of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CCEOT) affecting an extraosseous site is described. A 60-year-old male patient presented with gingival swelling on the lingual side of the anterior mandible. The results of biopsy suggested clear cell odontogenic carcinoma, and marginal resection of the mandible was performed. The resected specimen was composed of eosinophilic and clear cells with deposits of amyloid-like material. The clear cells exhibited granules that were positive for PAS. There was no calcification in the resected lesion. Based on these features, the conclusive diagnosis was peripheral CCEOT without calcification. No signs of recurrence were evident after 3 years of follow-up.
