Summary
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumors are benign jaw growths, typically seen in young women. This study details two cases, emphasizing diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Odontogenic tumors
- Surgical oncology
Background:
- Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare, benign odontogenic neoplasm.
- AOT predominantly affects the anterior maxilla in young individuals, particularly females.
- Clinical suspicion arises from jaw swelling and associated cyst formation with unerupted teeth.
Observation:
- Two cases of AOT are presented in patients aged 13 and 37.
- Both patients presented with asymptomatic jaw swelling.
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor.
Findings:
- The study highlights the anatomoclinical presentation of AOT.
- It underscores the necessity of histopathological confirmation for diagnosis.
- Key features, treatment outcomes, and management strategies for AOT are discussed.
Implications:
- This research contributes to understanding AOT's clinical behavior.
- It emphasizes early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention for favorable outcomes.
- Further research may refine diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols for AOT.
