Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT), a tumour composed of odontogenic epithelium, is an uncommon tumour of odontogenic origin that accounts for only 2.2- 7.1% of all odontogenic tumours. Very few cases of AOT associated with Dentigerous cyst (DC) have been reported till date, most cases are in females and have a striking tendency to occur in the anterior maxilla. The present case is that of a 14-year-old female who revealed a large radiolucent lesion associated with the crown of an unerupted canine located in the left maxillary anterior region. The microscopic examination revealed the presence of AOT in the fibrous capsule of a DC. In this paper, we describe the importance of grossing, sectioning and complete examination of the slide to diagnose such hybrid lesions.
腺样牙源性肿瘤(AOT)是一种由牙源性上皮组成的肿瘤,是一种罕见的牙源性肿瘤,仅占所有牙源性肿瘤的2.2%-7.1%。迄今为止,仅有极少数腺样牙源性肿瘤与含牙囊肿(DC)相关的病例报道,大多数病例为女性,且明显倾向于发生在上颌前部。本病例为一名14岁女性,其左上颌前部有一个与未萌出尖牙牙冠相关的大的透射性病变。显微镜检查显示在含牙囊肿的纤维囊壁中有腺样牙源性肿瘤。在本文中,我们描述了大体检查、切片及对玻片进行全面检查对于诊断此类混合性病变的重要性。
