Unique odontogenic tumor with dentinogenesis and features of unicystic plexiform ameloblastoma

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

“…Some of these, Vargas and colleagues [12] have termed adenomatoid odontogenic hamartomas. This includes the four cases described by Allen et al [13] as adenomatoid dentinomas as well as the lesions reported by Dunlap and Fritzlen [14], Orlowski et al [15] and Tajima et al [16].…”

Secretory cells in adenomatoid odontogenic tumour: tissue induction or metaplastic mineralisation?

“…Allen et al (1998) described their cases as adenomatoid dentinomas, a previously uncharacterised entity, while Vargas et al (2006) proposed the term adenomatoid odontogenic hamartoma. They point out that the cases reported by Dunlap and Fritzlen (1972), Orlowski et al (1991), Tajima et al (1992) and Allen et al (1998) in fact represent examples of this entity. The case reported by Nomura et al (1992) appears to represent an adenoid‐ameloblastoma with dentinoid or odontome formation and was treated by jaw resection, while the case reported by Takeda (1995) does have the features of an AOT unusually showing both induction of osteodentine and abortive enamel.…”

Adenoid ameloblastoma with dentinoid

“…Of these, the cases reported by Slabbert et al ,[1] Evans et al ,[7] Orlowski et al ,[8] Tajima et al ,[9] Matsumoto et al [10] and in the present report, the tumor was diagnosed as ameloblastoma, while in six other reports the tumor was considered to be AOT. Teakeda et al reported bone formation in their report[11] while the other cases have mentioned the hard tissue as dentin or dentinoid.…”
