Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor associated with an unerupted mandibular lateral incisor: a case report

Abstract: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor that predominantly appears in the second decade of life in female patients. Most AOTs occur in the anterior part of the maxilla and are usually associated with impacted anterior teeth. There are three types of AOT, follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral, which are classified based on the location of the lesion and its association with the impacted tooth. We report a rare case of AOT associated with an impacted right mandibular lateral… Show more

“…Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon benign neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin accounting for less than 3% of all odontogenic tumors ( 1 - 3 ). Benign and slow-growing, it is believed to originate from the remnants of the dental lamina or the enamel organ ( 1 , 4 - 6 ). In 1969, Philipsen et al proposed the name “adenomatoid odontogenic tumor,” which was later adopted by the World Health Organization with the understanding that this lesion has a benign and non-aggressive behavior ( 2 - 5 , 7 , 8 ).…”

“…Radiographically, in most cases, AOT shows a unilocular radiolucency with well -defined borders and may contain numerous dispersed radiopaque foci. 4,7 Except for the absence of calcifications in the lesion, the present case presents the classic characteristics of the lesion.…”

“…AOT is a rare, hamartomatous, epithelial lesion of odontogenic origin. 4,6 It's one of the most controversial lesions, due to its histopathological characteristics and similarity to ameloblastoma, thus previously receiving the name of pseudo--adenomeloblastoma. 2 When compared to ameloblastomas, the most common odontogenic tumor, AOT is a nonaggressive tumor, encapsulated with limited growth and no tendency of recurrence.…”
