Abstract
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a relatively uncommon odontogenic tumor characterized by the formation of ductlike structures by the epithelial component of the lesion. 1 According to the reports of Giansanti et al, 2 Toida et al, 3 and Philipsen et al, 4 cases occur predominantly in the second and third decades of life, with few cases occurring in people over 50 years old. The usual site is the anterior maxillary region. The most common radiographic appearance of AOT is a sharply circumscribed, unilocular radiolucency, often associated with the crown of an unerupted anterior maxillary tooth (especially canine), resembling a dentigerous cyst. Detectable radiopacities were reported in two thirds of the cases. 4 The AOT reported here showed unusual clinicopathologic features.
