A boy in India who had a swollen jaw had 526 'teeth' removed from his mouth.

The seven-year-old, named by local media only as Ravindranath, was taken to the nearest hospital with a swollen jaw.

Scans supposedly showed hundreds of masses on the lower, right side of his jaw, prompting doctors to opt for surgery.Medics removed 526 denticles - abnormal teeth-like growths from Ravindranath's mouth. They were all encased in a tumour.

The five-hour procedure was carried out by surgeons at Chennai's Saveetha Dental College and Hospital.

'We opened up the jaw after administering general anaesthesia and saw a sack inside it,' said Dr Senthilnathan, who led the operation.

'The sack, weighing about 200g, was carefully removed.' The surgeon, whose first name is unknown, said the denticles were of different sizes.
