Plain-English summary
A 7-month-old male Weimaraner was brought in for swelling in the upper jaw. X-rays and a CT scan showed a large cyst and an unerupted canine tooth, along with a mass that was identified as a compound odontoma (a type of dental tumor). The veterinarian performed surgery to remove the cyst and the mass through the mouth, and follow-up tests confirmed the diagnosis. The dog recovered well, and after 18 months, there were no signs of the issues returning.

Abstract
A 7-month-old, male, Weimaraner dog was presented for maxillary swelling. Clinical evaluation including radiographs and computed tomography revealed a large cystic lesion, unerupted right maxillary canine tooth, and mass presumed to be a compound odontoma. The cyst and mass were expansile and occupied a large portion of the nasal cavity displacing anatomical structures of the maxilla. The mass was excised via curettage through an intraoral surgical approach and the unerupted tooth and cystic lining were removed. Histopathology supported dentigerous cyst and compound odontoma. This case confirms the first report of concurrent development of dentigerous cyst and compound odontoma in a dog with successful treatment and 18-month follow-up with no recurrence.
