Clinically, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) presents with slow and progressive growth often asymptomatic or may be associated with few subjective symptoms like cortical expansion and frequently associated with unerupted tooth. Case Report: A 20-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of progressive swelling in upper right front region of face since four months. Patient gave history of appearance of swelling in last trimester of pregnancy (9th month) since then the swelling has gradually increased in size to the present condition. The lesion was completely enucleated along with impacted canine and extraction of first and second premolars was done under general anesthesia. Conclusion:The rate of proliferation of odontogenic tumors during pregnancy is rapid, but definitive treatment can be delayed till parturition or may require immediate attention. Delayed treatment may cause increased morbidity. Enucleation is relatively easy as the tumor is well encapsulated and recurrence is rare. A larger case series is needed to definitely implicate growth of odontogenic tumors during pregnancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
