A 14-year-old boy reported with a painless swelling over the right anterior mandible with missing right canine tooth. The lesion was diagnosed as 'central follicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumour' and excised surgically under general anaesthesia. The patient was on a year-long clinical and radiographical follow-up.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is always a benign tumor with rare incidence of recurrence while ameloblastoma is the commonest gnathic tumor, which is always aggressive. Although co-occurrence of these lesions has been reported, this paper describes a homogenous combination of atypicalAOT and ameloblastomatous proliferation with some malignant microscopic features. To date, a dozen cases o...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) is a benign, non-invasive odontogenic tumour with slow and sustained growth. It is relatively rare and unusual, and mainly affects females in their second decade of life, exhibiting predilection for the anterior region of the maxilla. The lesion is usually associated with the crown of an enclosed tooth, most commonly the maxillary canine. In this paper, we p...

Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin. Unicystic ameloblastoma refers to those cystic lesions that show clinical, radiographic or gross features of a mandibular cyst, but on histologic examination show a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining part of the cyst cavity with or without luminal and/or mural tumor growth. It accounts for 5 to 15% of all intraosseous a...

Ameloblastomas and adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (AOTs) are common epithelial tumors of odontogenic origin. Ameloblastomas are clinico-pathologically classified into solid/multicystic, unicystic, desmoplastic, and peripheral types, and also divided into follicular, plexiform, acanthomatous, granular types, etc., based on their histological features. Craniopharyngiomas, derived from the remnant...

a 16-years-old female patient with painless swelling of the right side of mandible is described. she noticed the swelling from two years ago, without painful symptoms. axial ct imaging showed buccal expansion with intact buccal and lingual cortical bone. the report of incisional biopsy was central odontogenic fibroma. under general anesthesia the lesion was removed after ostectomy of buccal cor...
