ABSTRACT

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (TOA) is a rare, uncommon, WHO-classified lesion in odontogenic tumors with ectomesenchyma, which shows a very peculiar histological morphology. This pathological entity is of low prevalence representing 0.1% of the tumors and cysts of the jaws with rare recurrences. Its frequency of appearance is more common in young patients, generally females, of greater presentation in the upper jaw, asymptomatic, associated with unruptured teeth (mainly canines) that presents differential diagnoses among other more aggressive lesions such as dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma. We present the case of a nine-year-old patient with tumor lesion in the left upper jaw of 40 days of evolution. Clinically there is absence of the tooth 23. A panoramic radiograph is indicated, in which the presence of the tooth 23 is observed in the orbital floor of the upper left jaw. Surgical removal is performed with a presumptive diagnosis of dentigerous cyst; the total of the lesion was biopsied, with definitive diagnosis by histopathology of TOA with good odontological clinical evolution.
