Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor Occurring on the Mandible
|
Abstract:
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumor of the jaw. It occurs more frequently in females around the second decade, in the anterior maxilla, and with an impacted canine. We report a case of AOT in a 16-year-old female in the mandible associated with the premolar on the right side. The tumor was spherical, depicting its centrifugal growth pattern and extrafollicular based on its relation with the affected first premolar. The differential diagnosis of AOT includes Odontogenic Keratocyst, Ameloblastoma and Dentigerous cysts. Clinical-radiologic and histologic data, when integrated, remain the best diagnostic tool. The need to report more on this entity cannot be overemphasized, as this will lead to a better understanding of its biological nature.
