Abstract

Background: The AOT is an atypical tumor of odontogenic origin that comprises about 0.1% of jaw tumors and cysts as well as up to 3% of odontogenic tumors (OTs). Aim and objective: This review describes the clinical, radiographical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical properties of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) and reports an occurrence of an AOT in a boy, 13 years of age. Case description: A male, 13 years of age, presented with a swelling with respect to the left maxilla, painless, and with obvious facial asymmetry. The orthopantomogram and computed tomography scan revealed a large unilocular radiolucency in the left maxilla with permanent lateral incisor embedded within the lesion and permanent canine pushed away from its normal position. After complete enucleation of the cyst under local anesthesia and extraction of associated impacted permanent teeth and retained deciduous teeth related to the lesion, the defect was filled with a bone graft and closed. Postoperative follow-up was uneventful. Conclusion: An accurate diagnosis should be established through clinical, radiographical, and pathological correlations in order to be able to differentiate AOT from other conditions for early diagnosis. Clinical significance: This report highlights the salient features of the AOT to be able to correctly diagnose and manage the lesion.
