Rare angiofibrolipoma of the oral cavity: a case report.

General dentistry·2025

Odontomas, common odontogenic tumors, are usually asymptomatic. This case details a complex composite odontoma managed by surgical excision, preserving an impacted third molar for future eruption.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Pathology
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Odontomas are the most frequent odontogenic tumors, typically presenting without symptoms.
  • Odontogenic tumors arise from tooth-forming tissues.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with an asymptomatic swelling in the maxillary molar region.
  • The swelling was associated with an impacted third molar.

Findings:

  • A complex composite odontoma was diagnosed.
  • Surgical excision of the odontoma was performed.
  • The impacted third molar was intentionally retained for eruption.

Implications:

  • This conservative management approach for odontomas associated with impacted teeth may allow for functional tooth eruption.

  • Preserving the third molar can potentially reduce the need for further complex surgical interventions.
  • This case highlights a tailored surgical strategy for managing specific odontogenic tumors.
