Abstract
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor is a rare tumor constituting 3-7% of all
odontogenic tumors. It is a benign neoplasm which arises from the odontogenic
epithelium. We present a case of 22 year female patient with a well defined, unilocular
radiolucent lesion containing an impacted tooth seen radiographically. On microscopic
examination, sections comprise of cyst wall composed of fibrous connective tissue with
areas of haemorrhage. Whorls and lobules of spindle shaped cells were seen on luminal
aspect with interspersed duct like structures. Based on the above histopathological
features final diagnosis of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor was made. The treatment
of choice is conservative surgical removal through simple curettage or enucleation.
Recurrence is very rarely seen.
