ABSTRACT
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour (AOT) is an uncommon, benign odontogenic tumour affecting predominantly young females and occurring typically in the anterior maxillary region. This paper aims to report two clinical cases of AOT, emphasizing the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of this tumour. The first case involves a 24-year-old male who presented to the Oral Medicine and Oral Surgery Department with a hard, painless gingival swelling in the right maxillary canine area. The second case concerns a 30-year-old male patient with epilepsy, who was referred by his orthodontist following the incidental radiographic finding of an impacted canine associated with a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion. Both patients underwent surgical enucleation of the lesions. The diagnosis of AOT was confirmed with histopathological examination in each case. AOT is a slowly growing, often asymptomatic tumour, frequently associated with impacted teeth, especially maxillary canines. Management typically involves conservative surgical removal, with a low risk of recurrence. These cases underscore the importance of early detection and accurate diagnosis, and emphasize the importance of clinical and radiographic evaluation to ensure effective management of this rare odontogenic neoplasm.
