Liesegang rings: The misnomer in calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor?

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor which is characterized by the presence of islands and sheets of epithelial cells, amyloid like material and calcifications. These calcifications have a concentric lamellar pattern because of which they have been known by some as liesegang rings. However, classic liesegang rings seen in other extragnathic sites though have a lamellated pattern are different in composition as well as appearance. This brief communication aims to highlight the key differences between liesegang rings seen in other lesions with that of those seen in CEOT.
