Abstract
Odontoameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor, in which dentin and enamel are formed. Histologically, odontoameloblastoma is similar to ameloblastoma. We report a case of odontoameloblastoma arising in the maxilla.<br>A 12-year-old boy complained of swelling and pain at the incisor region on the left side of the maxilla and visited our department. Computed tomography showed a unilocular radiolucency, in which many calcified bodies were observed around the impacted canine. The clinical diagnosis was an odontogenic tumor, and the lesion was extirpated under general anesthesia. Histopathological examination of the resected specimens showed the presence of hard tissues, enamel, and dentin, accompanied by an enamel organ. Consequently, the tumor was diagnosed to be an odontoameloblastoma. There has been no evidence of recurrence for 3.5 years after the operation.
