Abstract
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour (AOT) is odontogenic epithelial tumour, also known as pseudoadenoameloblastoma/adenoameloblastoma, which was described by Dreibaldt in 1907 [1]. The term “Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour” was proposed by Philipsen et al [2] indicating that it was not a variant of ameloblastoma. In the World Health Organization classification of odontogenic tumours established in 1971, AOT was mentioned as a mixed odontogenic neoplasm, an epithelial tumour with an inductive effect on the odontogenic mesenchyme [3].It represents 3–7% of all odontogenic tumours largely limited to younger patients and striking tendency to occur in anterior maxilla, and over 750 examples have been reported in the literature [4]. This case report presents a case of an Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour in the left maxillary anterior region which was diagnosed using radiographs and removed by surgical excision.
