Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors subdivided morphologically into complex or compound odontomas. This paper describes the case of a complex odontoma in a 31-year-old male who complained of a painless swelling in right mandibular region which was diagnosed radiographically as complex odontome. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was done and sent for histopathological examination.

Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and could be detected accidentally after an X-ray examination of the jaw. The most frequent location of odontomas is maxillary front. The case reported here is a complex odontoma found in the left mandible, associated with an impacted third molar of a 14-year-old girl. Under local anesthesia, both the impacted third molar and odontoma were surgically extracted. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of complex odontoma.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic lesion that comprises from 0.2% to 1.1 of all odontogenic tumors. In the past a number of different names have been given to this lesion, such as calcifying ameloblastoma, cystic complex odontoma, uncommon ameloblastoma with calcifications and others. There is a need to study and explore various aspects of this tumour, this article gives a broad idea of the various aspects of this tumor and which aspect of this tumour needs more investigation.

<p><strong>Objective</strong>: To report a case of Multiple myeloma (MM) in mandible with paraesthesia. <strong>Material and Methods:</strong> The present case report highlights the occurrence of a swelling in the left posterior mandibular region in a 70-year old female patient and draws attention to the first clinical sign of a widespread systemic disease manifesting in the head and neck region. <strong>Results</strong>: The initial presumptive diagnosis was invalidated by the histopathological examination and other diagnostic tests that revealed the features characteristic for MM. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Being a rare disease, MM should be kept on forefront of differential diagnosis for jaw lesions in a geriatric patient with paraesthesia.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>:  Multiple myeloma; Mandible; Paraesthesia.</p>

Odontoma, a mixed odontogenic tumor, is considered to be a hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm. Fully developed odontomas chiefly consist of enamel, dentin, pulp and occasionally cementum. They are subdivided into compound and complex types. The compound odontoma is composed of multiple, small tooth like structures, whereas the complex type consists of a conglomerated mass of enamel and dentin, having no anatomical resemblance to a tooth. They are usually asymptomatic, slow growing but cause bony expansion, which is often discovered during routine radiography. Here, we report a case of a complex odontoma in the posterior left mandibular region in an eight year old female child.

Peripheral odontogenic lesions are considered to be rare within the classification of odontogenic tumors. They share the same microscopic characteristics of their central counterparts. Here, we report an ulcerated mass of the maxillary gingiva that on histopathological examination was diagnosed as peripheral developing odontoma or peripheral ameloblastic fibroodontoma. The diagnosis of this tumor is challenging and may lead to unnecessary treatment.

Odontomas are the most commonly occurring odontogenic tumors, which are considered by many to be hamartomas rather than neoplasms. These clinically asymptomatic tumors are classified into complex and compound odontomas. They are usually discovered in radiographs and rarely cause bony expansion or infection. This paper discusses a case report of a complex odontoma exhibiting all the structural features and defects of enamel, dentine, and cementum in succession, with an overview on its etiology.

Abstract Background Mandibular masses caused by inflammatory processes due to bacterial infections, most common with Actinomyces bovis, are well known in herbivors. This case represents a rare differential diagnosis to common inflammatory processes which cannot be distinguished from neoplasia without detailed histopathological examination. Case presentation A large unilateral mandibular mass of a free-ranging female adult red deer (Cervus elaphus elaphus) was submitted for pathological examination. The animal had been shot due to its poor body condition. Grossly, the mandibular mass showed gingival ulceration and necrosis. Histologically, irregular strands and islands of odontogenic epithelial cells and a matrix of dentin and osteoid-like material were found, leading to the diagnosis of an odontogenic tumor. Considering the animal’s age the tumor was classified as odontoameloblastoma with secondary chronic purulent osteomyelitis. Conclusions Odontogenic tumors are rare in domestic and wildlife species and so far have not been reported in red deer. In addition to the more common inflammatory processes of the mandibula and other neoplastic diseases of the oral cavity, odontogenic tumors represent a rare differential diagnosis that must be kept in mind especially when masked by inflammatory lesions.

Odontogenic myxofibroma is a rare, benign, but locally aggressive neoplasm found exclusively in the jaws. It has a predilection to occurs in the 2nd–3rd decade. The lesion often grows without symptoms and presents as a painless swelling. Most common clinical variant is associated with the impacted tooth and shows local invasion. The surgical treatment of these tumors consists of complete enucleation or radical excision. 15th year old girl with a slow growing, painless swelling in the left mandibular region since 2 years. Results of a radiological examination revealed a multilocular radiolucency extending from first molar up to coronoid process with impacted 3rd molar. Biopsy was done, and the histopathological examination showed a myxofibroma. Hemimandibulectomy was done and the tumor mass was resected along with it. Then the mandibular was reconstructed with AO plate. In this case hemimandibulectomy was done due to high rate of recurrence, surgical treatment through bone resection is the most indicated treatment modality and the patient must be followed‑up closely for years. AO Plate for mandibular reconstruction was considered because it was safe, rapid, easy and tissue tolerance is good. The neoplasm diagnosed on the basis of radiographic imaging modalities and histopathological examination.

Odontoma is a benign calcifying odontogenic tumor of unknown etiology, although local trauma, genetic factors, and chronic inflammation may be related. They are classified into compound and complex types, depending on the morphological, radiographic and histological characteristics. Clinically they hardly show signs or symptoms, and, when present, are related to delayed tooth eruption, cortical bone expansion and tooth displacement. Although radiographic exams are complementary, most cases of odontomas reported in the literature are found on routine radiographs. The diagnostic hypothesis is confirmed by histopathological examination that shows evidence of the presence of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissue arranged in the form of denticles (compound) or a disorganized mass (complex). The treatment consists of surgical excision of the lesion. The aim of this article was to report a clinical case and histopathological analysis of a complex odontoma associated with an unerupted tooth, located on the left side in the posterior region of the maxilla, discovered by routine radiographic examination of a 57-year-old male patient. The treatment was surgical excision of the lesion, removal of the unerupted tooth and histopathological examination, which confirmed the diagnosis of complex odontoma. The case was followed-up clinically and radiographically for one year and showed no recurrence.

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumors (DGCTs) are uncommon neoplasms classified as a solid variant of the calcifying odontogenic cyst and defined as a locally invasive neoplasm, characterized histologically by an ameloblastomatous epithelium with an area of ghost cell formation and a varying amount of dentinoid. Herein, we present the case of a 22-year old man who was referred to us due to recurrent swelling of right posterior mandibular region. The diagnosis of a DGCT was made by the use of advanced radiographic imaging and detailed histopathological examination.
