The odontogenic adenomatoid tumor. A comprehensive study of twenty new cases.

Twenty new cases of odontogenic adenomatoid tumor are added to the literature, bringing the total number of reported cases to 152. The clinical, radiographic, and microscopic findings in these cases support the previously reported data for this lesion. The odontogenic adenomatoid tumor is a benign lesion which arises from residual odontogenic epithelium. It should be treated conservatively, as there is no indication that this lesion will recur. The histogenesis of this lesion, as well as the origin of the esinophilic droplet material, is discussed.
