Abstract | AIM: MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical histories and microscopic slides of all cases diagnosed as COC were reviewed and analyzed statistically. The information about patients such as age, sex, clinical features, radiographic view and other necessary data was gathered from biopsy files. RESULTS: The majority of cases occurred in mandible and four cases were peripherally. Thirteen cases were associated with other odontogenic tumors and 11 cases were odontoma type. In two cases, recurrence was reported after surgical treatment which underwent malignant transformation. CONCLUSION: Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) in Iranian population occurs in younger age group with slightly male predilection and more mandibular, unicystic and simple type. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: It is better to address the noncystic CCOT lesions with their specific terms in order to make histopathological characteristics clear.
