## TL;DR

A rare case of multiple large odontomas in a young child's jaws is reported, highlighting their clinical and radiographic features.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting gigantic multiple odontomas in both jaws of a pediatric patient, a rare occurrence.

## Key findings

- The case involves a five-year-old boy with multiple odontomas in both jaws.
- Clinical and radiographic features were analyzed to aid in treatment planning.
- This case adds to the limited literature on pediatric odontoma presentations.

## Abstract

Odontomas are mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor-like malformations (hamartoma) composed of dental hard and soft tissue, causing delayed teeth eruption. Multiple case reports have been published in the literature describing solitary, localized odontoma features in pediatric patients along with their treatment planning. This report presents clinical and radiographic features of gigantic multiple odontomas involving both jaws in a five-year-old boy.
