Peripheral odontomas, rare tumors in gum tissue, are exceptionally uncommon in children. This report details a unique case of a peripheral odontoma in a young girl, adding to the scarce medical literature.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Pediatric dentistry
  • Odontogenic tumors

Background:

  • Peripheral odontomas are rare benign odontogenic tumors that develop in the gingival soft tissue.
  • Their occurrence is exceptionally infrequent, with only three cases previously documented in medical literature.
  • Odontomas are classified as neoplasms containing enamel and dentin, originating from odontogenic epithelium.

Observation:

  • A case presentation of a peripheral odontoma in a 3-year-old female patient.
  • The tumor arose from the gingival tissue, presenting a rare clinical scenario.
  • Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to diagnose the lesion.

Findings:

  • The study describes a rare instance of a peripheral odontoma in pediatric gingival tissue.

  • This case contributes to the limited existing reports on peripheral odontomas, particularly in young patients.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of peripheral odontoma.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering peripheral odontomas in the differential diagnosis of pediatric gingival lesions.
    • Adds valuable data to the scarce literature on peripheral odontomas, aiding future research and clinical understanding.
    • Emphasizes the need for thorough evaluation of unusual oral growths in children.
