Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare odontogenic tumor which is often misdiagnosed as odontogenic cyst and accounts for about 1% until 9% of all odontogenic tumors. It is predominantly found in young and female patients, located more often in the maxilla in most cases associated with an unerupted permanent tooth. It is a benign (hamartomatous), noninvasive lesion with slow but progressive growth. There are three variants of AOT: follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral. We report a rare case of follicular-type AOT in the mandible of a 14-year-old male patient who presented with right -sided jaw swelling.
腺牙源性肿瘤（AOT）是一种罕见的牙源性肿瘤，常被误诊为牙源性囊肿，约占所有牙源性肿瘤的1%至9%。它主要见于年轻女性患者，多数情况下位于上颌骨，且大多与一颗未萌出的恒牙有关。它是一种良性（错构瘤性）、非侵袭性病变，生长缓慢但呈进行性。AOT有三种变体：滤泡型、滤泡外型和周边型。我们报告一例罕见的滤泡型AOT，发生于一名14岁男性患者的下颌骨，该患者表现为右侧颌骨肿胀。
