Popis: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign hamartomatous odontogenic neoplasm. This entity is more commonly seen in young individuals in second decade of life. It occurs commonly in the anterior maxillary region usually in association with impacted maxillary canine. Here, a case report in which the tumor occurred at an early age of 8 years (in the first decade of life) and associated with an unerupted first premolar tooth (which is an unusual situation) has been reported. Priority should be made on early diagnosis and proper treatment planning.
