They are usually asymptomatic and are mostly discovered during the routine radiographic investigation. Histologically, they are hamartomas composed of different dental tissues that grows slowly are benign and behave in a nonaggressive manner. We hereby report a case of a 32‑year‑old female patient, who reported to our Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a hard, nonpainful swelling in the lower right posterior region of the jaw. KEY WORDS: Benign tumors, complex/compound odontomas, mandibular neoplasms, odontomas, radiopaque mass INTRODUCTION unilocular, and they are separated from the normal bone by a well‑defined cortical line.[1] A complex odontoma “Paul Broca,” was the first person to use the term presents as an amorphous conglomeration of dental odontoma in 1867, who defined the term odontoma as a tissues consisting of enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum, tumor formed by the overgrowth of transitory or complete and enamel organ.[1] The treatment plan of choice dental tissues. is surgical removal of the lesion in toto, followed by histopathological study for final diagnosis.

Radiographically, the tumor shows central destruction of bone with extension of cortical plates and calcified structures which have the radiopacity of tooth structure. These may resemble miniature teeth similar to a compound odontoma or occur as large masses of calcified material similar to a complex odontoma. We report a case of a 17-year-old male with a hard solitary, diffuse swelling over the right lower third of the face for 8 months. Histopathological sections of tumor mass showed diverse and characteristic features of ameloblastoma along with odontogenic epithelium proliferation in unrestrained manner so as to resemble developing tooth bud in stages of morphodifferentiation, apposition and calcification.

They are considered to be hamartomatous malformation rather than true neoplasm. They develop from epithelial and mesenchymal components of the dental apparatus, producing enamel and dentin. Clinically, they may be classified as intraosseous and peripheral odontomas. Although most of the odontomas are asymptomatic, yet these are often associated with tooth eruption disturbances and malocclusion. Keywords: odontoma, peripheral, compound Introduction Odontomas, one of the most common benign odontogenic tumors of epithelial and mesenchymal origin. They are considered actually as hamartomas or developmental anomalies composed of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissue [1]. Peripheral or soft tissue odontomas, those arising in the soft tissue, are rare, judging from the paucity in the literature, or are rarely reported. This excludes those that were in the bone and subsequently erupted [2]. The aim of this article is to report clinical case of compound peripheral odontoma which be diagnosed and treated at the department of Medicine and Oral Surgery of the Dentistry Clinic of Monastir, Tunisia.

The mass is peduculated, exophytic, smooth, soft and the same color of the mucosa, measuring 8 x 6 x 4 mm., and the clinical diagnosis was mucocele versus hamartomas or coristoma. The excisional biopsy was made under local anesthesia, not complications were present during the surgical removal. Microscopically stained with H&E the lesion was composed of large cell containing abundant granular cytoplasm and small hyperchromatic nuclei.
