Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) is a benign non-invasive odontogenic tumour, having mostly a slow and sustained growth pattern. AOT is an uncommon lesion of odontogenic origin, which affects young individuals, with a female predilection and mostly occurring in the second decade. In the literature, it has been considered as a hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm because of its limited size, minimal growth potential and the lack of recurrence. We present an extrafollicular central variant of AOT with a occurrence rate of 30%, adjacent to the incisors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
