Peripheral osteoma is the most common subtype of osteoma that arises most frequently in the craniofacial bones. It may occur at any age with a male-to-female ratio of 2:1. Peripheral osteoma may affect the mandible, particularly the ramus and the condyle. Compound odontoma is a subtype of odontoma that occurs in young subjects without gender predilection. It affects the maxilla more frequently ...

The most common type of odontogenic tumours is odontomas. Generally, they are benign and asymptomatic in nature. This paper describes two varieties of odontomas in two different cases. In first case a compound odontoma present in maxillary anterior region lead to over retention of primary teeth and non eruption of permanent teeth. Retained deciduous teeth and the lesion were removed and permane...

AIM Compound odontoma has been reported to be the most common of all odontogenic neoplasms and tumor- like lesions. Only rarely the treatment of this lesion in association with an impacted tooth has been reported. CASE REPORT A compound odontoma in a 10-year-old girl, associated with an impacted permanent incisor is described, focusing on the diagnosis and the importance of early treatment o...

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor that occurs predominantly in children and young adults with no gender predilection and anatomic site, usually appearing as a painless swelling. We present a case of an 11-year-old non-Caucasian boy complaining of large painless isolated swelling in the right mandibular body. Intraoral examination revealed a tumoral mass ...

Extra-osseous odontogenic tumors are rarely observed. However, it is widely accepted that the remains of odontogenic epithelium entrapped in the oral soft tissues may be a possible source for peripheral odontogenic tumors differentiation. Peripheral developing odontoma is considered exceptionally rare, since few similar cases are described in the English-related literature under diverse nomencl...

BACKGROUND Pigmented intraosseous odontogenic lesions are rare with only 47 reported cases in the English literature. Among them, pigmented calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor, formerly known as calcifying odontogenic cyst, is the most common lesion with 20 reported cases. METHODS A case of pigmented calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor associated with odontoma occurring at the mandibular cani...

Odontomas generally appear as small, solitary or multiple radio-opaque lesions found on routine radiographic examinations. Traditionally, odontomas have been classified as benign odontogenic tumors and are subdivided into complex or compound odontomas morphologically. Compound odontomas commonly occur in the incisor-canine region of the maxilla and complex odontomas are frequently located in th...

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) predominantly occurs in the jaw bones of children and young adults. Extraosseous AFO is extremely rare. We describe a peripheral ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the maxillary gingiva of a 3-year-old girl. The clinical appearance resembled fiery red reactive gingival lesions. The histopathological examination of the excised lesion showed small islands and cords o...

introduction multiple dentigerous cysts are rare and mostly associated with syndromes. case presentation the present case report is unique, as the dentigerous cysts enclosed the lateral incisor, canine, first and second premolars of the mandible and were accompanied by a complex odontoma, instead of first mandibular molar. conclusions multiple unilateral nosyndromic dentigerous cysts with compl...
