Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) usually presents as a unilocular, pericoronal radiolucency in the maxillary anterior region in adolescent females. Very few conditions occur in such a narrow age range and at such a restrictive site. Rarely, these tumors present with varied clinical features. A case of AOT of the mandible is reported with unusual features such as large size, multilocular appearance, and aggressive behavior. The role of radiology in diagnosis of atypical AOT is extremely important. The unique radiological manifestations of the lesion helped in the diagnosis, and it was managed conservatively with no evidence of recurrence.
腺样牙源性肿瘤（AOT）通常表现为青少年女性上颌前部区域的单房性、冠周透射区。很少有疾病在如此狭窄的年龄范围内且在如此局限的部位发生。这些肿瘤很少表现出多样的临床特征。本文报道了一例下颌骨AOT，具有如体积大、多房表现和侵袭性行为等不寻常特征。放射学在非典型AOT诊断中的作用极其重要。该病变独特的放射学表现有助于诊断，并且对其进行了保守治疗，无复发迹象。
