Abstract
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare odontogenic origin tumor that manifests as a slow-growing cystic neoplasm in the anterior maxilla, often in conjunction with an impacted tooth. AOTs are divided into three kinds based on their histology: follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral. Because the source of the AOT is unknown, it's impossible to say whether the lining of an associated cyst reflects the cause i.e. a real dentigerous cyst, a cystic alteration within an AOT, or a separate entity. The diagnosis and treatment should be determined following a thorough clinical, radiographic, and histological investigation. The presented case is a rare occurrence of its sort due to the favorable patient's age and the AOT's site in the lower jaw. The current study reports on a case with follicular AOT in the anterior mandibular region (a rare location), with unusual histomorphology (snow flake and calcified areas) associated with impacted 43 and retained 83.
