Summary
A rare benign tumor, complex composite odontoma, was found in a 6-year-old boy
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Pediatric Dentistry
Background:
- Complex composite odontoma is a rare benign odontogenic hamartoma.
- Typically observed in adolescents and young adults (10-19 years).
Observation:
- A 6-year-old boy presented with an unusually large mandibular lesion.
- Clinical, radiographic, CT, and histological examinations were performed.
Findings:
- The lesion was diagnosed as a complex composite odontoma.
- Detailed analysis of its clinical presentation and imaging characteristics.
Implications:
- Highlights the occurrence of large odontomas in younger children.
- Emphasizes the utility of 3D imaging in diagnosing and managing such rare dental anomalies.
