Abstract

Background: Odontogenic tumors present diverse clinical and histopathological behaviors that range from benign odontoma or hamartoma lesions to malignant tumors. In angelfish Pterophyllum scalare, findings of tumorous masses have been reported in the frontal region of the mouth, encompassing both the maxilla and mandible. Histologically, oral tumors have been characterized as angelfish lip fibroma or ameloblastoma.
