Source abstract
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm, comprising around 3% of all odontogenic tumors and <1% of all jaw tumors. It affects predominantly adolescents and young adults, with a remarkable female preponderance. This tumor most commonly tends to arise from the anterior part of maxilla and is frequently seen in association with an unerupted canine tooth, clinically mimicking a dentigerous cyst. This case report describes a giant adenomatoid odontogenic tumor of the maxilla highlighting the CT and MR imaging characteristics of this rare entity and explores the differential diagnoses with key differentiating features along with a brief review of literature.
