CONTRERAS, William; FERNANDEZ, Claudia  y  DE-PAZ, Cesia. Peripheral Developing Odontoma or Peripheral Ameloblastic Fibro-Odontoma Erupting to Oral Cavity Case Report. Int. J. Odontostomat. [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.2, pp.117-120. ISSN 0718-381X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-381X2018000200117.

The appearance of mixed odontogenic tumors into the oral cavity is a rare event. It is considered that some mixed tumors are only a stage in the complete development of a hamartomatous formation such as ameloblastic fibroodontoma and odontoma. Both pathologies share in common cellular elements which at one point makes them indistinguishable from each other. We present the case of a 21 year old patient who showed a mandibular growth whose histological elements present characteristics of both pathologies. The treatment was surgical excision of the lesion. There were no complications or recurrences to periodic reevaluation.

Palabras clave : mixed odontogenic tumours; ameloblastic fibro-odontoma; complex odontoma; odontoma; developing odontoma.
