title: Compound odontoma with granular cells.
abstract: The authors present an interesting and unusual histology of compound odontoma from an 18-year-old female. Part of the subepithelial connective tissue beneath the enamel organ epithelium was replaced by a granular cell nodule, of a probable histiocytic nature. This case represents the first published report of odontoma accompanied by granular cells.
