Odontoma arising in the extraosseous soft tissue is extremely uncommon. We describe our experience of gingival peripheral odontoma in which the initial presentation was a small asymptomatic nodule.
Case study.
A 44-year-old man reported with a firm gingival mass of the anterior maxilla which had been gradually enlarging over 5 years. Radiographic examination showed a dense radiopaque mass occupying most of the tumor and no evidence of underlying intraosseous lesion. The pathology was reported as odontoma.
This is the fourth reported case of peripheral odontoma in the gingiva.
发生于骨外软组织的牙瘤极为罕见。我们描述了一例牙龈外周牙瘤的病例，其最初表现为一个无症状的小结节。
病例研究。
一名44岁男性报告上颌前部牙龈有一质地坚硬的肿物，该肿物在5年中逐渐增大。影像学检查显示一个致密的不透光肿物占据了大部分肿瘤，且无骨内病变的证据。病理报告为牙瘤。
这是第四例报告的牙龈外周牙瘤病例。
