Odontomas are benign tumors of odontogenic origin. The cause of the odontoma is unknown, but it is believed to be hereditary or due to a disturbance in tooth development triggered by trauma or infection. Odontomas may be either compound or complex. Although these tumors are seen frequently, erupted odontomas are rare. The purpose of this study is to present a rare case of complex odontoma that erupted into the oral cavity.
牙瘤是牙源性良性肿瘤。牙瘤的病因尚不清楚，但据信是遗传性的，或者是由创伤或感染引发的牙齿发育紊乱所致。牙瘤可分为组合性或复杂性。虽然这些肿瘤很常见，但萌出牙瘤却很罕见。本研究的目的是报告一例罕见的复杂性牙瘤向口腔内萌出的病例。
