The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign, nonneoplastic (hamartomatous) lesion with a slow progressing growth. It occurs in both intraosseous and peripheral forms. This paper reports the case of a female aged 16 years who presented with a swelling in anterior maxilla; canine was missing, and a supernumerary tooth was present in the mid line. Radiology revealed a well-defined radiolucent area associated with impacted canine and root resorption of adjacent teeth, which was diagnosed histopathologically as AOT. The patient was treated surgically and later rehabilitated with fixed prosthesis.
腺样牙源性肿瘤(AOT)是一种良性、非肿瘤性(错构瘤性)病变,生长缓慢。它有骨内型和外周型两种形式。本文报道了一名16岁女性的病例,该患者上颌前部肿胀;尖牙缺失,中线处有一颗多生牙。影像学检查显示一个边界清晰的透射区,与阻生尖牙及相邻牙齿的牙根吸收有关,经组织病理学诊断为AOT。该患者接受了手术治疗,随后用固定修复体进行了修复。
