Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) originates from odontogenic epithelium. It accounts for 3-7% of all odontogenic tumors. It is a benign (hamartomatous), non-invasive lesion with slow progressive growth. AOT is often misdiagnosed as an odontogenic cyst. It is predominantly found in young female patients, and more often in the maxilla than mandible. Frequently associated with an unerupted permanent tooth. AOT resembles dentigerous cyst and tumors like ameloblastoma. These lesions are managed conservatively by surgical excision followed with the removal of the affected tooth and reported to have a good prognosis. Here with, we report a case of AOT in maxillary anterior region in 18-year-old female patient treated conservatively and with good prognosis.
