Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor - The “Two-thirds tumor”
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is an uncommon benign hamartomatous lesion of odontogenic origin, commonly seen in adolescents with a female predilection. It has distinct features such as constrained size, minimal growth potential and lack of recurrence. It occurs in both intra-osseous and peripheral forms. The rarity of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor may be associated with its asymptomatic presentation and slow growing pattern. Therefore, it should be distinguished from the more common lesions of odontogenic origin in routine dental examinations. Here we report a case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in a 14 year old female patient in the anterior maxillary region. The patient was treated surgically and later rehabilitated with fixed prosthesis.
