Multiple dental follicles with odontogenic fibroma-like changes (WHO type).

A 15-year-old boy, in the case presented in this article, had 13 unerupted teeth, each associated with hyperplastic pericoronal tissue that showed histologic features suggestive of the WHO type of odontogenic fibroma. The etiology, clinical features, radiographic findings, and histopathology of the odontogenic fibroma are reviewed. It is suggested that the unusual pericoronal findings represent a hamartomatous change.
