Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Primordial odontogenic tumor (POT) has been included as a new entity in the latest WHO classification (2017). Only 17 cases have been documented worldwide, and here, we report the eighteenth case – the second in Europe and first in Poland. The study describes a case of a 16-year old boy, diagnosed with primordial odontogenic tumor. The patient was treated with enucleation and there was no recurrence in the follow-up period. Due to the small number of cases, further reports are crucial to obtain pathomorphological and clinical characteristics of primordial odontogenic tumor
