Plain-English summary
Two young male dogs were brought in because of abnormal growths in their upper jaws, known as maxillary compound odontomas, which were pushing against nearby structures. After thorough examinations and imaging, the vets confirmed the diagnosis through tissue analysis. One dog underwent surgery to remove part of the upper jaw, while the other had the cystic lining and tooth-like structures removed through a different surgical approach. Both dogs had a good prognosis and were expected to recover well after treatment.

Abstract
Two immature male dogs were presented for the treatment of extensive maxillary compound odontomas. In both cases, clinical evaluation and diagnostic imaging revealed extensive lesions invading and displacing anatomical structures of the maxilla. Histopathology confirmed the diagnoses in both cases. One dog was treated with partial rostral maxillectomy, and the other dog was treated with enucleation of the cystic lining and removal of tooth-like structures through a lateral rhinotomy utilizing an intraoral approach. This report illustrates the growth potential of maxillary compound odontomas in 2 dogs and highlights their subclinical appearance and excellent prognosis despite their extensive nature.
