 Abstract

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon benign odontogenic lesion that predominantly affects young female patients, usually in their second decade of life, and accounts for approximately 3% of all odontogenic tumors. It is noteworthy that in about 74% of cases, this tumor is associated with an unerupted tooth, and in over two-thirds of cases, it is associated with the maxillary (65%) canine. Rarely, the lesion occurs in the mandible. This report describes a case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor on the right side of the mandible associated with an impacted canine (43) tooth in a 17-year-old female patient.
