Abstract
Twenty-year-old female leucoderm patient V.G.P. sought the dental office reporting discomfort during chewing in the left retromolar region. During the anamnesis and extraoral clinical examination, no changes were observed. In the intraoral examination during palpation, the patient reported mild discomfort in the region referred to above. The conventional periapical radiographic examination revealed a radiolucent area with well-delimited radiopaque halo circular shape in the distal region of the tooth 38 adhered in the coronary portion with radiopaque image suggestive of a tooth in formation. In view of this finding, a panoramic radiograph was requested to evaluate the area. During the surgical procedure for removal of the included tooth and the intraosseous lesion, a puncture was performed, which had a negative result. Material was sent for histopathologic examination. The diagnostic hypotheses were ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, odontoma. Histopathologic diagnosis was of odontoma SOE.
