Radiographic manifestation of clear cell odontogenic tumor.

Clear cell odontogenic tumors are uncommon, only 20 cases having been reported in the literature. We report a case that presented with unique radiographic manifestations over a period of 12 years; no similar case has been reported to date. Documentation of the malignant nature of the condition and of the range of clinical and radiographic manifestations with which this neoplasm can present provides useful insight into its pathogenesis and progression. Early and timely recognition of the lesion, histopathologic examination, and aggressive interventional procedures are in order to successfully treat this condition and prevent a potentially fatal outcome.
