Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is an uncommon odontogenic lesion, composed of odontogenic epithelium, characterized histologically by duct like structures with amyloid like deposits, noninvasive lesion with slow but progressive growth. Here we are reporting a case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in a 16-year-old female patient in the maxillary region. This paper provides the controversies regarding its origin and management in light of recent findings, clinical, radiographic, histopathologic and therapeutic features of the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. |
