Abstract :
Peripheral odontogenic lesions are considered to be rare within the classification of odontogenic tumors. They share the same
microscopic characteristics of their central counterparts. Here, we report an ulcerated mass of the maxillary gingiva that on
histopathological examination was diagnosed as peripheral developing odontoma or peripheral ameloblastic fibroodontoma. The
diagnosis of this tumor is challenging and may lead to unnecessary treatment.
