Abstract
Peripheral complex odontoma is an uncommon
extra osseous lesion reported usually in paediatric age group. It is classified
under benign mixed epithelial & mesenchymal odontogenic tumours. It occurs
due to presence of the remnants of serres. In this case report a 13-year-old
female patient reported with palatal swelling behind the maxillary left
permanent central incisors. After clinical & radiographic examination,
excision of calcified hard mass was done. The calcified mass was present in
palatal mucosa and not embedded in bone. Histopathological examination of the
mass revealed the typical features of complex odontome.Post-surgical follow up
was done periodically for six months.
