Child, 7, has 526 teeth removed from his mouth

Hundreds of hard structures were found within the lump, which was around five by three centimetres in size.

Once it had been removed, medical staff cut it open and found 526 teeth of varying sizes inside.

Dental surgeon Dr Senthilnathan said: “The tumour is very nicely demarcated from rest of the bone and it’s a four-to-five centimetre into three centimetre size in the right side of the lower jaw that is completely removed and taken out.

“Then the tumour mass was given to the histopathology department, then finally we come to know that there was 526 teeth which were present in the entire sac.”
