    Author: Takeda Y, Suzuki A, Sekiyama S.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1983 Jul; 56(1):71-5. PubMed ID: 6576313.
    Abstract:
    Most of the calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors (CEOT) are central lesions of the jaws, but the CEOT occurs infrequently on the gingiva. A cases of peripheral CEOT arising in the right upper molar gingiva of a 31-year-old Japanese woman is presented. A direct communication between the overlying gingival epithelium and the tumor was found by examination of serial sections. As a result, it was thought that one of the sources of peripheral CEOT might be gingival epithelium with potential proliferative activity.
