Multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicles.
This article describes two additional examples of this unusual condition; two others were reported previously. The microscopic features are those of the hyperplastic dental follicles that occur in regional odontodysplasia. However, the teeth are not defective, as in regional odontodysplasia. This rare condition is sufficiently distinctive to be considered a pathologic entity.
