Abstract

E. Kiran Kumar1, H. Lakshmi Vasavi2

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour (AOT) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumour which is more common in females and occurs usually in the second decade of life, and most commonly in the anterior maxilla.1 A 18 year female presented with a painful, radio opaque lesion in the right anterior maxilla and with history of tooth extraction, was initially diagnosed cytologically as odontogenic cyst. On clinical examination, loose tooth was noted with bony swelling in the right anterior maxilla. After excision of the lesion, histopathological examination was done, which showed the features of AOT.
