Abstract:
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times} Abstract Background and Aim: Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) accounts for less than 3% of all odontogenic tumors. It commonly occurs in anterior region of maxilla associated with an impacted tooth. Multifocal odontogenic lesions are uncommon and have only been observed in conditions associated with known genetic mutations. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of multifocal adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (AOT) have previously been reported in the literature. Case presentation: In this study, we report the second case of a bilateral, separate AOT in the maxilla in the midline in a 13-years old male. The patient presented with bilateral masses in the maxilla on either side of the midline which had been developed in 1 month. Conclusion: It seems, bilateral occurance of AOT in anterior region of maxilla can be correlated with faster growth and genetic susebtibility.

Follicular Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor in Mandible: A Rare Case Report
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a relatively rare, benign, hamartomatous, and cystic odontogenic neoplasm that was first described more than a century ago. The lesion still continues to intrigue experts with its varied histomorphology and controversies regarding its development. The present article describes a case of cystic AOT with an unusual histomorphology associated with an impacted...

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign bony lesion of the maxilla and mandible, it represents 3% of all odontogenic tumors, and is more frequent in females in their second decade of life. It affects mainly the maxilla associated with embedded teeth, often canines, but it also occurs in the mandible, especially in the anterior region. It originates from epithelial cells of the dental lami...

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign, non-invasive lesion with a slow but progressive growth. This tumor has three variants: follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral. The extrafollicular type is an intraosseous lesion that is not associated with unerupted teeth. Radiographically, it appears as a well-defined, unilocular, round or ovoid radiolucency with multiple, small, irregu...

Background: Odontogenic tumors are derived from the epithelial and/or mesenchymal remnants of the tooth-forming apparatus. Therefore, they are found exclusively in tooth-bearing areas. Similar to other neoplasms in the body, odontogenic tumors tend to histologically mimic the cell or tissue of origin. Case history: A 5-year-old boy presented with a chief complaint of pain in the mandible whi...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a non-aggressive slow growing epithelial odontogenic tumor with varied clinical and microscopic features. This neoplasm rarely appears as a completely cystic lesion histopathologically; therefore, oral pathologists should be aware of the various histopathologic types of this lesion. The main objective of this case report is to present a rare challenging case o...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon tumor of odontogenic origin with a relative frequency of 2.2 - 7.1%. As the histogenesis of AOT is still uncertain, it is sometimes categorized as a hamartomatous lesion rather than a true neoplasm. We report a case of AOT in the right maxillary anterior region in a 20-year-old woman. The tumor showed some unusual and aggressive features that s...
