Abstract

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) is a relatively uncommon odontogenic neoplasm. Initially this lesion was considered to be a variant of Ameloblastoma but its clinical features and biological behaviour indicate that it is completely a separate entity. It is a tumor arising from odontogenic epithelium with duct like structures and varying degrees of inductive changes in the stroma. It is a slow growing benign lesion commonly found in maxillary anterior region of young females and represents 3% of all odontogenic tumors. The aim of this paper is to present arare case of intraosseous follicular variant of AOT in themandibular anterior region.

Keywords: Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor, Intraosseous, Follicular.
