A Case of a Natal Tooth Showing a Pediculated Polyp-like Appearance

Abstract

Here, we report a rare case of a natal tooth of the lower primary incisor region associated with a pediculated polyp-like mass lesion. The lesion occurred in a 27-day-old newborn boy. Macroscopically, the natal tooth was not of uniform color and the contour of the cervix was ill-defined. Soft X-ray imaging clarified the shape but there was no root visible. Histopathologically, the natal tooth was immature and incompletely formed.
