Popis: The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is characterized as a rare benign lesion, affecting the mandible and maxilla in a ratio of 2:1, showing slow growth, though locally aggressive, with a peak of incidence between the ages of 30 to 50 years with no sex predilection. The case reported here highlights the surgical treatment of a CEOT in the maxilla performed through the Weber-Ferguson approach, which provided a satisfactory surgical field for the complete enucleation and tumor curettage.
