“…[2,[6][7][8] The lesions usually present as asymptomatic jaw swelling and are relatively small in size not exceeding 1-3 cm in diameter, as seen in this case. [8] AOT exists as three clinical subtypes: follicular type (in 73% of AOT) which is intraosseous in location and is associated with an unerupted tooth (usually canine); the extra-follicular variant (24%) which is located intraosseously but is not associated with unerupted tooth, and the peripheral form which is the most rare (3%) and occurs within gingival mucosa.…”

“…[6] AOT is referred to as "2/3 rd tumor" because 2/3 rd of the cases occur in the maxilla, 2/3 rd of the cases occur in young woman, 2/3 rd of the cases occur in unerupted teeth and 2/3 rd of the cases have been found to arise in relation to anterior tooth particularly canine. [7] Here we report a rare case of presumably follicular AOT in 15-year-old female which arose in association of left mandibular canine and later with eruption of the tooth presented as an extra-follicular variant leading to the root dilaceration of left mandibular canine.…”

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare benign neoplasm of epithelial origin. AOT occurs mainly in the second decade of life, and the most common location is anterior maxilla. It rarely aff ects the mandible. Most of the AOTs may be located intraosseously but few have been reported to occur within gingival structures. AOTs located intraosseously may be seen associated with unerupted tooth (follicular variant) or may not (extra-follicular variant) be associated with unerupted tooth. Here, we report a rare case of presumably follicular variant of AOT associated with mandibular canine that presented as an extra-follicular variant leading to root dilaceration of the mandibular canine after eruption of the tooth.

Adenomatoid odontogenic cyst (AOC) is a benign, slow growing, relatively uncommon lesion of odontogenic origin. Histogenesis of AOC is still uncertain; however, it is often considered as a hamartomatous lesion rather than a true neoplasm. It is described as a cyst that has a hamartomatous intraluminal proliferation of epithelial cells derived from Hertwig's epithelial root sheath. It usually presents as an expansile lesion in maxillary anterior region. Adenomatoid odontogenic cyst is characterized histopathologically as well-demarcated cysts that typically appear with intraluminal masses. In the present paper, we report a rare case of AOC, thereby emphasizing the terminology and the histoarchitectural spectrum.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare benign tumor which originates in the odontogenic epithelium. Some theories indicate its glandular origin because of the incidence in the same embryological pouch. This form of odontogenic tumor rarely metastasizes and generally only requires regional excisional biopsy within healthy tissues. The tumor is commonly associated with an unerupted tooth, mimicking a dentigerous cyst. AOTs are usually located in the anterior portion of the maxilla and are seen more frequently in young female patients and occur in the second decade of life. These are mostly asymptomatic small lesions discovered incidentally on panoramic radiograph; however, when a bacterial co-infection is present, their diagnosis can be troublesome. Treatment is conservative enucleation and curettage. In most cases recurrences are rare. Due to the rare occurrence of this lesion and its clinical features, the authors described a case of AOT in a 15-year old female presenting as a cystic mass associated with unerupted maxillary anterior teeth.
