A Benign Hamartomatous Tumor - Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Odontogenic tumors are a group of heterogeneous lesions. Among all the tumors adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign noninvasive relatively rare which affects younger individuals. In literature, it has been considered as hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm because of its limited size, minimal growth, and lack of recurrence. Hereby, we are discussing about a case of AOT with detailed differential diagnosis, radiographic findings, and treatment.
