Two cases of rare, peripheral, soft tissue odontomas, in different growth phases, are reported. Case one, discovered in an early, rapid growth phase, had no radiographic appearance, was presumed to be a periodontal abscess, and presented a diagnostic challenge. Case two was diagnosed radiographically in its mature phase. Both were treated successfully by excisional biopsy and did not recur. Comparisons are made to the classic intrabony odontomas.
