%X Primordial odontogenic tumour (POT) is a newly described benign mixed odontogenic neoplasm that has been included in the World Health Organization classification 2017. Only 19 cases that conform to the clinico-pathologic criteria for diagnosis have been reported worldwide. We present the 20th case of POT reported worldwide and is only the third case to be reported from India. The need for considering POT as a possible diagnosis in lesions affecting posterior mandible in patients below 10 years, the need for clinicians and pathologists to be aware of this entity and the need to draw more specific conclusions on the diagnostic criteria of POT make it necessary to report every single case of this entity from different parts of the world. Along with the case report in a 3-year-old child patient, we also present here a summary of the cases reported till date and the review of literature.
