“…It is difficult to distinguish odontogenic myxomas from similar tumors, and a number of diagnostic errors have been described. 20 Myxomas might be mistaken for dentigerous inflammation or a malignant neoplasm; for example, Basile and Lin described a case of odontogenic myxoma mimicking a fibro-osseous process. 21 On the other hand, Kali et al reported a gnathic desmoplastic fibroma mimicking a dentigerous cyst.…”

Tumors of the oral cavity are of various origins and can be signs of non-invasive cysts or malignant neoplasms.The paper describes the case of a 9-year-old boy with a tumor in the right side of the maxilla. Having been treated for an odontogenic myxoma at the age of 3, the patient was included in a national program assessing the health of children who had undergone anticancer treatment. The boy remained under oncological supervision, and the tumor was found again in the same region a few years later. It was diagnosed as a dentigerous cyst and surgically excised. In addition, when the patient was 9 several changes in dentition were found that were typical following anticancer therapy: no tooth germs were observed for teeth 13, 35 and 45, and microdontic teeth 25 and 47 were noted. These changes could be attributed to the chemotherapy performed in early childhood. Tumors appearing in the oral cavity always require an in-depth assessment of their nature and origin. Chemotherapy elicits late complications in tooth development in children.

Odontoma are the most common benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial and mesenchymal origin. Usually a conservative approach is the standard treatment protocol for this. Odontoma associated with unerupted tooth andodontogenic cyst aggravates the existing condition. Generally, expansible nature of cystic lesions require surgical excision which is different from isolated non-symptomatic odontomas that can be monitored by periodic radiological examination. There is inadequate evidence on the presence of odontoma-associated cystic lesions in the oral cavity. Therefore, the present case report is aimed at describing the diagnostic clinical, radiological, and histological features together with the surgical management of a dentigerous cyst associated with a compound odontoma. The lesion was surgically removed. No recurrence was observed after 12 months of follow-up. BSMMU J 2022; 15(3): 201-203
