Abstract
17-year-old female patient who attended the Maxillofacial Surgery unit at 'Hospital del Carmen', Santiago de Chile. Due to increased facial volumen on the right side, persistence of tooth 5.3 and clinical abscence of tooth 1.3. Complementary studies: Orthopantomography and cone beam tomography were performed. The histopathological report of the excisional biopsy showed an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, associated with tooth 1.3 in the maxillary region.
Highlights
Odontogenic tumors (OT) are exclusive lesions of the maxillary, mandibular and oral mucosa; derived from mesenchymal and/or ectomesenchymal cells that are or were part of the odontogenesis process [1,2,3,4,5]
It is necessary to take a biopsy and a histopathological study to reach the definitive diagnosis of the injury, due to its clinical and imaging characteristics it can be confused with other tumor or odontogenic cyst
adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) corresponds to a benign TO generate by the proliferation of epithelial remains that participate in the odontogenesis process
Summary
Odontogenic tumors (OT) are exclusive lesions of the maxillary, mandibular and oral mucosa; derived from mesenchymal and/or ectomesenchymal cells that are or were part of the odontogenesis process [1,2,3,4,5] They include a spectrum of lesions with diverse biological behavior, ranging from innocuous hamartomatous lesions to aggressive neoplasia [6]. AOT corresponds to a benign TO generate by the proliferation of epithelial remains that participate in the odontogenesis process It is characterized by slow, expansive growth associated with some included teeth, generally maxillary canines [1,2,3,5]. It has a low recurrence rate, if the associated tooth is removed, in addition to curettage or complete enucleation of the lesion [2,4]
