Abstract
An Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) isa hamartomatous lesion rather than truly neoplastic and one among the rare tumors of the oral cavity. The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is treated by surgical enucleation along with the involved tooth. This tumor has the least chance for recurrence and hence it does not require radical excision. The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is more common in females than males. This paper was a case report on the follicular variant of AOT of anterior maxilla associated with impacted canine and its surgical enucleation in a young male patient.
