    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Comparative Pathology
    • Equine Dentistry

    Background:

    • Maxillary enlargement and airway obstruction are significant clinical signs in foals.
    • Odontogenic tumors are uncommon in young animals.
    • Congenital tumors can cause severe structural abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of ameloblastic odontoma in a foal.
    • To describe the clinical presentation and pathological findings.
    • To highlight the impact of congenital odontogenic tumors on equine skull development.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of a 4-month-old foal with respiratory distress.
    • Diagnostic imaging to assess maxillary and airway structures.
    • Surgical removal and histopathological analysis of the tumor.

    Main Results:

    • A large ameloblastic odontoma was identified in the right maxillary sinus.
    • The tumor caused significant distortion of the sinus, turbinates, and nasal septum.
    • The foal presented with severe upper airway obstruction due to the mass effect.

    Conclusions:

    • Ameloblastic odontoma is a rare but significant cause of maxillary enlargement and airway obstruction in foals.
    • Congenital odontogenic tumors can lead to substantial craniofacial malformations.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing such conditions in young horses.
