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. the aim of this study was to investigate myofibroblast (mf) density in a broad spectrum of odontogenic cysts and tumors and the relation between the density of mfs and the clinical behavior of these lesions. methods. a total of 105 cases of odontogenic lesions, including unicystic ameloblastoma (uam), solid ameloblastoma (sa), odontogenic keratocyst (okc), dentigerous cyst (dc), rad...

BACKGROUND Tumours arising from odontogenic tissues are rare and constitute a heterogenous group of interesting lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the relative frequency of odontogenic tumors (OT) among Nigerian children and adolescents 19 years or younger. PATIENTS AND METHODS The histopathology records were retrospectively reviewed for all the tumors and tumor-like lesions of t...

Oral and maxillofacial pathology has paramount importance in connecting basic science and clinical features; progress in this field will improve diagnosis and treatment. Although the prevalence of odontogenic tumors varies in different geographic sites, there are no reports in English on the relative frequency of odontogenic tumors in Iran. In the present 30-year retrospective study, the case r...
