ABSTRACT

Teeth are derived from three important embryological structures: the neural crest cells, oral mesoderm and ectoderm. Also, teratomas are tumoral lesions that are developed from the germ cells of the three embryonic germinative layers and that can give rise to the formation of dental, adipose, hairy, bony, cartilaginous structures in aberrant anatomical locations that can appear in lungs, ovaries, testicles, pituitary and pineal region. These are usually asymptomatic and subclinical lesions that tend to appear in the first three decades of life and are commonly diagnosed accidentally by imaging studies such as computed tomograph or magnetic resonance imaging. We describe the case of a 28-year-old patient who was removed from a tumor mass in the ovary with a presumptive diagnosis of teratoma and when they opened it, dental organs were found inside. The main objective of this article is to explain the embryonic process that gives rise to the teeth and the pathological circumstances that can cause this odontogenic process to arise in anatomical aberrant and atypical sites outside the oral cavity.
