A 4 year boy presented with chief complaint of swelling in upper left back region of mouth since last 5 months. Patient underwent extraction of the grossly carious 64 & 65, 3 months back in our institution. Swelling did not subside even after extraction. On examination, A bony hard swelling is present in left maxilla extending from 63 to distal aspect of 65.Tender on palpation. A well-defined radiolucent lesion extended from the mesial surface of 63 to unerupted 26. Lesion exhibited ill-defined radio-opacity.
         We obtained two lining epithelium, one surrounding the tooth like structure and another within the tooth like areas. Bone was associated with Dentin. Could this structure be considered as an odontoma?
