Popis: Abstract Background Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare benign tumor that predominantly occurs in posterior sites of the mandible in adults. Case presentation This case report describes a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor in a 37-year-old Iranian female with the chief complaint of swelling in the anterior region of the mandible and tooth displacement. This paper summarized the pathological findings, radiographical features and clinical management of the patient. Clinical examinations revealed a bony hard swelling ~ 3 cm × 4 cm in size with tenderness in the chin area. Radiography revealed an expansile mixed radiolucent and radiopaque lesion with cortical borders. A minimally aggressive surgical approach is used to remove the lesion. Conclusion This case report outlines the successful outcomes of this surgical approach and the positive outcome associated with the restoration of lost functions of displaced mobile teeth in an arranged and nonmobile way after treatment.
