Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) Originating in a Unicystic Ameloblastoma: A Case Report

Abstract: The follicular variant of the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is thought to originate from the reduced enamel epithelium of the dental follicle. The origin of the extra-follicular variant however, remains less clear. This paper presents a case of an extra-follicular AOT, which we believe originated from the epithelial lining of a unicystic ameloblastoma, and reviews the literature. The available evidence seems to indicate that some extra-follicular AOTs might arise as secondary phenomena within pre-existin… Show more

“…We have compiled the reported cases, excluding ours, into a table which serves as an updated version similar to Lin et al's (Table 1) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Information in the table includes location, sex, age, treatment, and any follow-up data.…”

“…Our case also supporting this truth [19,20].However, our patient is a female and most of the above lesions have occurred in male and it completely differs as none of the above have manifested in the mandible, making this case truly rare. Some other authors proposed that the epithelial lining of the odontogenic cyst may transform into an odontogenic neoplasm-like ameloblastoma or AOT [17,21,22 ].…”
