Compound odontomas are benign tumors that develop slowly and asymptomatically, originating from epithelial and mesenchymal tissues responsible for producing enamel and dentin. In this case, a 28-year-old female patient was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery service after a routine panoramic radiography revealed an asymptomatic lesion in her mandible. The patient had no comorbidities, and the clinical examination showed no abnormalities. A computed tomography scan displayed multiple hyperdense areas encircled by a hypodense halo in the mandible symphysis, which was associated with the impacted right central incisor. The provisional diagnosis of a compound odontoma was subsequently confirmed through an excisional biopsy and histopathological analysis. A one-year follow-up revealed evidence of new bone formation and maturation in the respective region on imaging examinations. This case underscores the significance of investigating and monitoring unerupted teeth, as it plays a crucial role in diagnosing various conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region, including benign tumors.
