ABSTRACT
The calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour (CCOT) is a rare benign cystic neoplasm not infrequently associatedwith odontoma. This report documents a case of CCOT associated with compound odontoma arising in theanterior maxilla in a 25-year-old woman. Conventional radiographs showed a large calcified mass with poorlyvisualized radiolucent margins. The extent and condition of the internal structure of the CCOT associated withodontoma was able to be determined based on radiographic findings from cone beam computed tomography.This advanced image technique proved to be extremely useful in the radiographic assessment of this particularneoplasm of the jawbones (AU)
