Odontomas are the most commonly occurring benign odontogenic tumors of the jaws. Although a majority of odontomas are intraosseous, there are case reports of odontomas that erupted into the oral cavity. Even less common are peripheral or soft-tissue odontomas, only a few of which have been reported to date. We report a peripheral odontoma that arose in the alveolar mucosa of the posterior maxilla in a young child. The diagnosis, complications, treatment, and prognosis of this entity will be discussed.
牙瘤是颌骨中最常见的良性牙源性肿瘤。尽管大多数牙瘤位于骨内，但也有牙瘤破入口腔的病例报告。外周性或软组织牙瘤甚至更为少见，迄今为止仅有少数病例被报道。我们报告一例发生于一名幼儿上颌后份牙槽黏膜的外周性牙瘤。本文将讨论该疾病的诊断、并发症、治疗及预后。
