Abstract

Conservative treatment of odontogenic tumours with decompression or marsupialisation is not common, but can be done successfully in those with a cystic pattern. We present a calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour that was treated by tube decompression and subsequent enucleation.

Keywords: Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour; Decompression; Pindborg Tumour.
