Abstract

Introduction: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon benign epithelial odontogenic tumor frequently involving the maxillary anterior region. It presents as an encapsulated slow growing lesion displacing the roots of associated teeth. The histopathological findings are characteristic and aid in diagnosis of this entity.
Case Summary: We present a case of a 28 year old female who developed an expansile swelling in the anterior maxillary region which was reported as an Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) post-surgical excision.
Conclusion: This article discusses the hamartomatous vs true neoplastic nature of AOT along with histopathological findings.
