Abstract

Among the mixed odontogenic tumors, i.e. with both epithelial and mesenchymal components, are the odontomas. These neoformations are basically classified into two types, complex and compound. The aim of this report is to present a case of a small size compound odontoma associated with the germ of a lower second molar in an 8-year-old child. The initial diagnosis was based on the radiological aspect of the lesion and the treatment choice was the conservative surgical removal of the neoformation, performed in the Clinic of Odontostomatology of San Sebastiano Hospital, Frascati (Rome). The histopathological examination gave the confirm of initial diagnosis of compound odontoma. The excision of the lesion was chosen to ensure the right eruption path of the lower second molar.
