SILVA, Leila Márcia Pinto et al. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour mimetizing a radicular cyst. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.2, pp. 39-44. ISSN 1808-5210.

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) was so classified as a new tumor in 1969 by Philipsen and Birn. This odontogenic tumor is benign, asymptomatic, has a slow growing and rarely reach a size greater than 3 cm. AOT usually occurs in anterior jaw bones, affects females twice more than males and is unusual in patients older than 20 years-old. The aim of this study is to report an atipic case of AOT in the anterior mandible mimetizing a radicular cyst, affecting a 45 years-old male patient, who was treated by surgical enucleation. The patient has been followed-up and has no clinical and imaging signs of recurrence. In this paper, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor's clinical, radiographic and histological aspects will be discussed, as well the recommended treatment.
