Background.  Peripheral (extraosseous) odontogenic tumors are rare.

Case report.  This report describes a case which illustrates the clinical and histopathological features of a lesion in an 8-year-old, healthy Caucasian girl that on purely morphological grounds would seem to be an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, but may represent a case of a peripheral developing complex odontoma.

Conclusion.  Conservative surgical enucleation of the lesion was followed by unbcomplicated healing and no recurrence was seen.
