Abstract Odontomas are classified by the WHO as odontogenic tumors composed of enamel, dentin, cement and pulp, considered hamartomatous lesions rather than true neoplasms. In exceptional cases, odontomas erupt into the oral cavity. This study reports a case of odontoma spontaneously exposed to the oral cavity, which is known as “erupted odontoma”, in a 22-year-old male patient. A review of the literature between 1980 and 2015 of the existing cases of this pathology is also presented

Keywords : odontogenic tumors; odontomas; erupted odontoma.
