Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in mandibular region
Keywords:
Mandibular tumor, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, benign neoplasm.Abstract
The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is an uncommon neoplasm derivative of theodontogenic epithelium containing canalicular structures with inductor modifications
of variable intensity in the conjunctival tissue. It is a slow growth lesion and no
much invasive but that may to be similar to other odontogenic lesions more
aggressive including the dentigerous cyst and the ameloblastoma among others. Its
classical location (upper canine area) guides us to diagnosis and its duct histological
pattern is very typical of this tumor. Other tumors included in this group are the
ameloblastic fibroma, the ameloblastic odontoma, the calcified odontogenic cyst
and composed and complex odontomas. This group of lesions may or not to have
formations of hard tissue inside. Thus, authors present the case of a patient
presenting with this type of tumor making a histopathology study, a literature
review on this benign odontogenic tumor and its clinical radiographic features,
treatment, as well as the differential diagnoses to be into account.
