A case of multiple odontomas associated with ossifying fibroma

Abstract

A rare case of multiple odontomas of the mandible occurring in a 10-year-old boy is presented. The patient was referred to our clinic due to the absence of the right mandibular molars. Radiographic examination revealed three combined radiolucent-radiopaque lesions of the mandible, resembling complex odontomas. All three lesions were removed with the patient under general anesthesia. Histopathologic findings were consistent with multiple complex odontomas with ossifying fibroma. There were no signs of recurrence upon reexamination of the patient three years postoperatively.
