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...

This case report describes a rare case of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) arising in the mandibular third molar region of a 20-year-old female. The tumor was a well-circumscribed intraosseous lesion with an embedded tooth. Histologically, the induction of extensive globular calcification was evident in addition to the characteristic histological features of AOT. The present case lends su...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT), a benign (hamartomatous) lesion of odontogenic origin, is an uncommon tumor which affects mainly females in the second decade. This lesion is most commonly associated with an impacted maxillary canine. This paper reported a case of AOT, in a 16-year-old female, associated with an impacted maxillary left lateral incisor. The evolution of this tumor was follow...
