Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies odontomas as odontogenic tumors, consisting of odontogenic epithelium and ectomesenchyme. They result from developmental abnormalities and, therefore, do not constitute authentic tumors. It is a local malformation that has no growth autonomy. They are rarely symptomatic and are usually discovered accidentally during the realization of a radiographic examination. There are two variants of odontomas: complex and compound. Complex odontomas are made of a mass consisting of an anarchic assembly of mineralized tissue (enamel, dentin, and cementum) and dental pulp; while compound odontomas are consisting of a set of small rudimentary teeth, assembling in clusters. They rarely show the features of both types together. The aim of this work is to report a rare presentation of an odontoma in a 24‐year‐old male patient, which present the characteristics of both complex and compound variants. Surgical excision of the lesion was performed. Anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Clinical and radiological survey does not show any recurrence. |
