This article presents the case of a Japanese woman who had Ekman‐Westborg‐Julin trait. She had general macrodontia with multituberculism, evagination of the premolar, single conical roots, shovel‐shaped incisors, enamel hypoplasia, impacted tooth, dental crowding, and an open bite. The oral and general characteristics of this patient are described and include the histological and radiographic findings of the mandibular third molars. We suggest that the distinctive oral features with macrodontia of the permanent teeth, multituberculism, evagination, single conical roots, and impaction of the tooth could be defined as the Ekman‐Westborg‐Julin trait.
