Odontomas are known as the most common odontogenic tumor and usually present without clinical symptoms. It can be divided into compound odontoma and complex odontoma. Compound odontomas are calcified tissue and they bear similarity to the teeth, whereas complex odontomas do not show similarity to the tooth. Diagnosis of the odontomas is usually accidental on radiographic examination. Complex odontomas are commonly seen in the posterior mandible. Apart from the few case reports regarding the complex odontoma of the anterior mandibular region, reported occurrence in this site is rare. Here, authors described a case of a child who presented with a chief complaint of swelling in the anterior mandibular canine region. After clinical examination and required investigations, provisionally, it was diagnosed as complex odontoma. It was surgically removed and histopathological examination confirmed the provisional diagnosis. Ahammed H, Seema T, Cheranjeevi J. Complex Odontoma at an Unusual Site in a Child: A Case Report.

牙瘤是最常见的牙源性肿瘤，通常无临床症状。它可分为组合性牙瘤和复杂性牙瘤。组合性牙瘤为钙化组织，与牙齿相似，而复杂性牙瘤与牙齿不相似。牙瘤的诊断通常在影像学检查时偶然发现。复杂性牙瘤常见于下颌后部。除了少数关于下颌前部区域复杂性牙瘤的病例报告外，该部位的报道发病率很低。在此，作者描述了一例以下颌前部尖牙区肿胀为主诉的儿童病例。经过临床检查和必要的检查，初步诊断为复杂性牙瘤。手术切除后，组织病理学检查证实了初步诊断。Ahammed H, Seema T, Cheranjeevi J. 儿童罕见部位的复杂性牙瘤：一例报告。《国际临床儿科牙科学杂志》2021年；14(3):438 - 440。
