Cone beam computed tomography findings of a large Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour in the anterior mandible- A case report

Abstract

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour (AOT) accounts for 0.1% of all jaw tumours. It commonly occurs in anterior maxilla associated with an impacted tooth. The present case report describes the clinical and radiographic findings of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour occurring in an unusual location. The large size of tumour in short duration, location in the anterior mandible, radiographic absence of calcifications as well as presence of root resorption makes this report distinctive. In addition, the cone beam computed tomography findings of AOT are discussed in detail.
