[Clinical-morphological report for adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (author's transl)]

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign lesion mostly detected as a random finding. Often the lesion is thought to be an odontogenic cyst owing to its clinical and radiographical appearance. Only histological investigation enables correct diagnosis. The case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor of a 20-year-old woman is reported. The tumor was taken for a globulo-maxillary cyst. - The typical histological picture prevents confusion with other odontogenic tumors. Simple exstirpation is sufficient.
