ABSTRACT
The Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign (hamartomatous) noninvasive lesion but progressive growth, constituting only 3% of all odontogenic tumors. Most common site of AOT is maxillary anterior region especially canine region. Most common variety of AOT is Follicular variety (73%) which is associated with impacted tooth (maxillary canine). Females are most commonly affected than males. We report on a rare case of follicular AOT in the mandibular anterior region seen in an 18 years old male patient. Diagnosis of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor should be considered when the clinician is presented with a corticated radiolucency in the anterior lower jaw, especially in teens and young adults.
