Abstract:

Odontogenic tumors are a group of heterogeneous lesions, features of which have been catalogued for several decades. Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) is a relatively rare and distinct odontogenic tumor that is exclusively odontogenic epithelium in origin often misdiagnosed asanodontogenic cyst. It is slow growing, benign in nature that appears in the anterior portion of the jaws and more frequently in the anterior maxilla. Histogenesis of AOT is still unclear and is often considered as a hamartomatouslesion rather than a true neoplasm. It occurs in intraossoous as well as peripheral forms. Perepheralvariantis very rare and only few reports have been published. We report a rare case of AOT of the maxilla in a 19-year-oldfemale patient having both peripheral as well as central component, which is rare in literature.
