Popis:	Odontogenic gingival epithelial hamartoma (OGEH) is a rare odontogenic epitheliallesion. Distinguishing OGEH from peripheral ameloblastoma can pose a differential diagnostic challenge. We report a case of OGEH affecting the lower gingiva in a 78-year-old male patient. The lesion presented as a large, painless, pedunculated mass with a pleomorphic histological appearance. A diagnosis of OGEH was made after the exclusion of peripheral ameloblastoma and peripheral adenomatoid odontogenic tumour. Previous studies have reported differences in sex and age between patients with OGEH and peripheral ameloblastoma; this suggests that peripheral ameloblastoma is not derived from OGEH. Histological findings suggest that the lesions are independent entities.
