Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign odontogenic tumor with slow growth potential and exceptionally low recurrence rate. The tumor is predominantly found in females in the second decade of life, involving the maxilla more frequently than the mandible. The tumor presents in three variants-intrafollicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral. The peripheral variant is very rare and only few reports have been published. We present a rare case of peripheral adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in a 10-year-old male child in the anterior region of the mandible.
腺样牙源性肿瘤是一种具有缓慢生长潜能且复发率极低的良性牙源性肿瘤。该肿瘤主要见于20岁左右的女性，在上颌的发生率高于下颌。肿瘤有三种类型——滤泡内型、滤泡外型和周边型。周边型非常罕见，仅有少数病例报告发表。我们报告一例罕见的发生于一名10岁男性儿童下颌前部区域的周边型腺样牙源性肿瘤。
