A Huge Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor of Maxilla

الملخص EN

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign, nonneoplastic (hamartomatous) lesion with a slow progressing growth.

It occurs in both intraosseous and peripheral forms.

This paper reports the case of a female aged 16 years who presented with a swelling in anterior maxilla; canine was missing, and a supernumerary tooth was present in the mid line.

Radiology revealed a well-defined radiolucent area associated with impacted canine and root resorption of adjacent teeth, which was diagnosed histopathologically as AOT.

The patient was treated surgically and later rehabilitated with fixed prosthesis.
