ABSTRACT Objective: To perform the epidemiological and clinicopathological analyses of odontogenic tumors in Kerman for 20 years. Material and Methods: The present study investigated collected records from pathology departments of the Faculty of Dentistry, Bahonar, and Shafa teaching-medical hospitals for 20 years. Data on odontogenic tumors was recorded based on age, sex, and tumor location in the information forms. The statistical t-test and the Kappa coefficient computer codes were utilized for data analysis. Results: 38 samples of odontogenic tumors were considered in the present study. The mean age of participants was 31.7± 10.3 years. The frequency of tumors was higher in women (63.2%) and in the lower jaw) 78.9%). Among various tumors, ameloblastoma (63.1%) and odontoma (18.4%) were the most common tumors, respectively. The correlation between clinical and histopathologic diagnoses was 71.8% using the kappa coefficient. Conclusion: Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor. The incidence of lesions was higher in the mandible, and odontogenic tumors were higher in women. Since the diagnosis of odontogenic tumors is based on radiographic and histologic appearances, clinical physicians and pathologists should collaborate for the definitive diagnosis of the disease.

ABSTRACT Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare benign neoplasm form of calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) characterized by ghost cells. Although benign, it presents an aggressive behavior. DGCT accounts for 2% to 14% of all COCs and less than 0.5% of all odontogenic tumors. It is a benign odontogenic tumor despite its local invasion and the likelihood of recurrence. To detect recurrence, central DGCT patients must be monitored long-term. We present the case of a 51-year-old male who reported pain in the right upper back tooth region. On examination, a soft to firm, bright red swelling was present in the buccal vestibule and gingival margin of the maxillary right first and second molar, which extended up to the palate. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a DGCT, which occurred in a previously treated calcifying odontogenic cyst. The case is reported here, along with a review of the literature update of such recurred instances in the past.

Abstract Cancer significantly affects the world's population, and it was estimated in 2018 that Head and Neck Cancer would be the seventh most prevalent. Clear cells can be the result of different physiological processes and are found in various benign and malignant tumours. Although they are rare in head and neck tumours, they are mostly found in salivary glands. Clear cell tumours of the head and neck, namely Hyalinizing Clear Cell Carcinoma and Odontogenic Clear Cell Carcinoma are malignant tumours, morphologically and genetically similar, with functional, psychological, social and aesthetic impact on these patients. Histopathological and immunohistochemical tests are essential to distinguish clear cells lesions from other differential diagnoses. This work aims to demonstrate the clinical variability of presentation associated with the immunohistochemical overlap of these two types of clear cell tumours of the head and neck.

Resumo O cancro afeta significativamente a população mundial, tendo sido estimado, em 2018, que o Cancro da Cabeça e Pescoço seria o sétimo mais prevalente. As células claras podem ser resultado de diferentes processos fisiológicos e são encontradas em diversos tumores benignos e malignos. Embora sejam raras nos tumores da cabeça e pescoço, são encontradas maioritariamente nas glândulas salivares. Os tumores de células claras da cabeça e pescoço, nomeadamente o Carcinoma Hialinizante de Células Claras e o Carcinoma Odontogénico de Células Claras são tumores malignos, morfologicamente e geneticamente semelhantes, com impacto funcional, psicológico, social e estético nestes doentes. Os exames histopatológicos e imuno-histoquímicos são fundamentais para distinguir as lesões de células claras de outros diagnósticos diferenciais. Este trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar a variabilidade clínica de apresentação associada à sobreposição imuno-histoquímica destes dois tipos de tumores de células claras da cabeça e pescoço.

ABSTRACT The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst is an odontogenic cyst of uncommon development. The jaws are the most common site of involvement. Cysts of the jaw with keratinization, the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), and the orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) have attracted the most attention. The case of a 34-year-old female patient is presented, with a 2-month history of progressively growing swelling in the region of the left maxillary sinus accompanied by mucopurulent rhinorrhea and purulent discharge from an oroantral fistula. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, a cystic lesion with keratin content is verified in the maxillary sinus whose histopathology returns compatible with orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst.

RESUMEN El quiste odontogénico ortoqueratinizado es un quiste odontogénico de desarrollo poco común. Los maxilares son el sitio más común de afectación. Los quistes mandibulares con queratinización, el queratoquiste odontogénico (OKC) y el quiste odontogénico ortoqueratinizado (OOC) son los que han atraído una mayor atención. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino de 34 años de edad, con historia de 2 meses de evolución de tumefacción de crecimiento progresivo en región de seno maxilar izquierdo acompañado de rinorrea mucopurulenta y salida se secreción purulenta por fístula oroantral. Se realiza cirugía bajo anestesia general, se constata una lesión quística de contenido queratínico en seno maxilar cuya histopatología retorna compatible con Quiste odontogénico ortoqueratinizado.

ABSTRACT: Odontogenic myxoma is a maxillofacial tumor that is benign in nature. It is characterized by a slow-growing, painless, and site-aggressive behavior. A main feature is that it is not encapsulated so it has high potential of invasiveness and penetration into peripheral tissues. Large lesions may cause extensive compromise of the region. Treatment strategy for Odontogenic Myxoma is still controversial. Radical resection with an appropriate surgical margin is recommended, but emerging evidence has suggested that a more conservative approach will result in less morbidity and adequate results. This report shows a remarkable result on a 16-year-old patient who had a Mandibular Odontogenic Myxoma treated with a conservative approach. Intra-lesional absolute alcohol irrigation was performed during a 5-month period. Considerable volume reduction of the lesion happened which allowed a minimal overall resection. No recurrence was found after a 3 year follow-up.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Odontogenic fibromyxoma is a rare benign tumor of mesenchymal origin. Small tumors may be asymptomatic and are discovered only during the routine radiographic examination, and large tumors are associated with the painless expansion of bone with the displacement of teeth and bone perforation. The treatment option is surgical and can range from conservative treatment to radical excision. Case Report: We report two cases of fibromyxoma in the mandible in a 17-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man. The diagnosis was anatomopathological. Both underwent conservative enucleation treatment with peripheral osteotomy and extraction of the affected teeth with favorable evolution. Discussion: Conservative treatment with an intraoral approach is a humanistic alternative that maintains its value of success, favorable evolution, and great acceptance by patients.

RESUMEN Introducción: El fibromixoma odontogénico es un tumor benigno poco frecuente de origen mesenquimal. Las lesiones menores pueden ser asintomáticas y se descubren sólo durante un examen radiográfico de rutina, y las lesiones mayores se asocian a expansión indolora del hueso involucrado, con desplazamiento de dientes y perforación ósea. La opción de tratamiento es quirúrgica existiendo desde el tratamiento conservador hasta la escisión radical. Reporte de caso: Presentamos dos casos de fibromixoma en mandíbula en una mujer de 17 años y varón de 18 años. El diagnóstico fue anatomopatológico. En ambos se realizó el tratamiento conservador de enucleación con osteotomía periférica y extracción de las piezas dentarias involucradas, con evolución favorable. Discusión: El tratamiento conservador con abordaje intrabucal es una alternativa humanística que mantiene su valor de éxito, evolución favorable y gran aceptación por los pacientes.

Resumen El tumor de Pott es una entidad rara, definida como un absceso subperióstico asociado a osteomielitis del hueso frontal. Suele presentarse como complicación de sinusitis aguda o crónica del seno frontal, y se describe con mayor incidencia en población pediátrica, siendo una complicación grave por su alta morbimortalidad. Se presenta a un paciente pediátrico con tumor de Pott y absceso cerebral posterior a una sinusitis aguda de foco odontogénico, en la que los pilares de tratamiento son drenaje quirúrgico precoz y antibioticoterapia prolongada. Se describe la clínica, manejo médico-quirúrgico y seguimiento posterior, ya que, en ausencia de antecedentes, se debe buscar dirigida- mente enfermedad periodontal y realizar un estudio de inmunodeficiencia primaria.

Abstract Pott’s tumor is a rare entity, defined as a subperiosteal abscess associated with osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. It usually presents as a complication of acute or chronic sinusitis of the frontal sinus and it is described with a higher incidence in the pediatric population, being a serious complication due to its high morbidity and mortality. We present a pediatric patient with Pott’s tumor and brain abscess after acute sinusitis of odontogenic focus, in which the pillars of treatment are an early surgical drainage and prolonged antibiotic therapy. The clinic, medical-surgical management and subsequent follow-up are described, since in the absence of antecedents, periodontal disease should be sought directly and a study of primary immunodeficiency performed.

Abstract Tooth development depends on a series of reciprocal signaling interactions between the oral epithelium and ectomesenchyme. This study aimed to investigate the role of CK14, a protein involved in Wnt-1/β-catenin signaling, in odontogenesis and the development of odontomas. This cross-sectional, retrospective, immunohistochemical study analyzed 30 compound odontomas, 30 complex odontomas, and 17 tooth germs. Higher immunoexpression of CK14 was observed in odontogenic epithelial cells of tooth germs (p < 0.001) and odontogenic epithelial cells of odontomas (p < 0.001). There was higher immunoexpression of Wnt-1 and β-catenin proteins in epithelial cells of tooth germs (p = 0.002 and p < 0.001, respectively), as well as in the ectomesenchyme of odontomas (p = 0.003 and p < 0.001, respectively). β-Catenin was moderately and significantly correlated with CK14 in the membrane of reduced enamel epithelial cells in odontomas (p = 0.007). Higher immunoexpression of CK14 was observed in the odontogenic epithelium during the bud and cap stages and lower immunoexpression in the internal enamel epithelium during the bell stage. In odontomas, lower expression of Wnt-1/β-catenin and higher immunoexpression of CK14 were found in odontogenic epithelial cells, especially adjacent to the mineralized material resembling the tooth formed in these lesions.

Resumo O desenvolvimento dentário depende de uma série de interações de sinalização recíproca entre o epitélio oral e o ectomesênquima. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o papel da CK14 das vias WNT-1/β-catenina na odontogênese e no desenvolvimento de odontomas. Este estudo transversal, retrospectivo, imuno-histoquímico analisou 30 odontomas compostos, 30 odontomas complexos e 17 germes dentários. A CK14 apresentou maior imunoexpressão em células epiteliais odontogênicas de germes dentários (p<0,001) e em células epiteliais odontogênicas de odontomas (p<0,001). A Wnt-1 e a β-catenina apresentaram maior imunoexpressão de proteínas nas células epiteliais dos germes dentários (p = 0,002 e p<0,001, respectivamente), bem como no ectomesênquima dos odontomas (p = 0,003 e p < 0,001, respectivamente). A β-catenina correlacionou-se moderada e significativamente com a CK14 na membrana de células epiteliais reduzidas do esmalte em odontomas (p = 0,007). Maior imunoexpressão da CK14 foi observada no epitélio odontogênico nos estágios de botão e capuz com menor imunoexpressão no epitélio interno do órgão do esmalte no estágio de sino. Nos odontomas, foi observado menor expressão de Wnt-1/β-catenina e maior imunoexpressão da CK14 presente nas células epiteliais odontogênicas, especialmente, vizinhas ao material mineralizado semelhante ao dente formado nessas lesões.

Resumo O cementoblastoma é um tumor mesenquimatoso odontogénico raro e benigno, geralmente caracterizado pela formação de tecido semelhante ao cemento produzido por cementoblastos neoplásicos ligados em redor das raízes de um dente. O tumor tem potencial de crescimento ilimitado. Frequentemente o tratamento sugerido é a ressecção tumoral em conjunto com o dente associado. Apresentamos um caso clínico de cementoblastoma de grandes proporções localizado na região posterior de mandíbula num paciente jovem do género masculino.

Abstract Cementoblastoma is a rare and benign odontogenic mesenchymal tumor, usually characterized by the formation of cementum-like tissue produced by neoplastic cementoblasts attached around the roots of a tooth. The tumor has unlimited growth potential. Often the suggested treatment is tumor resection together with the associated tooth. We present a clinical case of large proportions of cementoblastoma located in the posterior region of the mandible in a young male patient.

Resumo O presente estudo analisou a expressão de proteínas envolvidas na via de sinalização Sonic Hedgehog (SHH, SMO e GLI-1) em lesões benignas do epitélio odontogênico de comportamento biológico distintos, tais como ceratocistos odontogênicos (CO), ameloblastomas (AMB) e tumores odontogênicos adenomatoides (TOA), com o intuito de identificar o papel destas proteínas na patogênese destas lesões. A amostra foi constituída de 20 CO, 20 AMB e 10 TOA, analisada pela técnica da imuno-histoquímica de forma semiquantitativa por compartimento celular, onde foi feita uma análise da membrana e citoplasma das células nas proteínas SHH e SMO, enquanto que para a proteína GLI-1, foi feita uma análise nuclear e/ou citoplasmática. Para análise estatística, foram utilizados os testes de Kruskal-Wallis (KW), Mann-Whitney (U) e Spearman (r), com o nível de significância estabelecido em 5% (p < 0,05). Ao analisar a proteína SHH, observou-se que o AMB demonstrou expressão membranar/citoplasmática significativamente maior em comparação ao TOA (p = 0,022) e CO (p = 0,020). Com relação à análise membranar/citoplasmática da SMO, não foram identificadas diferenças entre as lesões estudadas. Para a proteína GLI-1, foram constatadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas, em nível nuclear, para o AMB e CO em comparação ao TOA (p< 0,0001). Além disso, foram observadas correlações positivas com significância estatística entre GLI-1 citoplasmático e GLI-1 nuclear para o AMB (r = 0,482; p = 0,031) e CO (r = 0,865; p< 0,0001), e entre o SMO membranar/citoplasmático e o GLI-1 citoplasmático para o TOA (r = 0,667; p = 0,035) e o CO (r = 0,535; p = 0,015). Os resultados deste estudo confirmam a participação da via de sinalização Sonic Hedgehog na patogênese das lesões estudadas e, a superexpressão de SHH em AMBs e GLI-1 nuclear em AMBs e COs, indica que estas proteínas contribuem com o comportamento biológico mais agressivo destas duas lesões quando comparado ao TOA.

Abstract The present study analyzed the expression of proteins involved in the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway (SHH, SMO, and GLI-1) in benign epithelial odontogenic lesions (odontogenic keratocyst - OKC, ameloblastoma - AB, and adenomatoid odontogenic tumor - AOT) in order to identify the role of these proteins in the pathogenesis of these lesions. The sample consisted of 20 OKCs, 20 ABs, and 10 AOTs. The Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and Spearman’s (r) tests were used for statistical analysis, with the level of significance set at 5% (p < 0.05). The membrane/cytoplasmic expression of SHH was significantly higher in AB compared to AOT (p = 0.022) and OKC (p = 0.02). No differences were found in the membrane/cytoplasmic expression of SMO between the lesions studied. Regarding GLI-1, significant differences were observed at the nuclear level for AB and OKC compared to AOT (p < 0.0001). In addition, significant positive correlations were found between cytoplasmic and nuclear GLI-1 in AB (r = 0.482; p = 0.031) and OKC (r = 0.865; p < 0.0001), and between membrane/cytoplasmic SMO and cytoplasmic GLI-1 in AOT (r = 0.667; p = 0.035) and OKC (r = 0.535; p = 0.015). The results of this study confirm the participation of the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of the lesions studied. Overexpression of SHH in ABs and nuclear expression of GLI-1 in ABs and OKCs indicate that these proteins contribute to the more aggressive behavior of these two lesions when compared to AOT.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor that usually presents as a painless swelling in young patients. In this article we performed a literature review and present our experience in the management of fibroblastic ameloblastoma in 4 cases. Material and methods: We performed a review of cases published in the literature in PubMed between 2015 and 2022. Regarding our experience, research in the Anatomical Pathology department was done to find cases of ameloblastic fibroma that had been histologically confirmed. Results: The search rendered 29 results, of which only 9 were selected. All articles were single case reports, and most of them were located in the mandible (77,7 %). Most patients underwent enucleation and curettage, and no recurrence were reported by any of the authors. We found 4 cases operated in our department in the last 15 years. Two lesions were located in the maxilla and 2 in the mandible. In all cases, enucleation and curettage was performed, including extraction of the teeth involved, with a very favorable evolution and no recurrences. Discussion: Management can be conservative, performing enucleation and curettage with a very favorable evolution. Variable rates of recurrence have been described and a malignant variant has been identified, so long-term follow-up must be done. In the literature we found only single case reports, with most of the cases presenting in the mandible and undergoing conservative treatment with favorable results. In our series we did not observe recurrences, with good bone regeneration and receiving subsequent orthodontic treatment.

RESUMEN Introducción: El fibroma ameloblástico es un tumor odontogénico mixto benigno y poco frecuente que generalmente se presenta como un abombamiento indoloro en pacientes jóvenes. En este artículo realizamos una revisión de la literatura y presentamos nuestra experiencia en el manejo del ameloblastoma fibroblástico en 4 casos. Material y métodos: Realizamos una revisión de los casos publicados en la literatura en PubMed entre 2015 y 2022. En cuanto a nuestra experiencia, se realizó una búsqueda en el departamento de Anatomía Patológica de los casos de fibroma ameloblástico confirmados histológicamente. Resultados: La búsqueda arrojó 29 resultados, de los cuales solo 9 fueron seleccionados. Todos los artículos fueron reportes de casos únicos, y la mayoría de ellos se localizaron en la mandíbula (77,7 %). La mayoría de los pacientes se sometieron a enucleación y curetaje, y ninguno de los autores informó de recurrencia. Encontramos 4 casos operados en nuestro departamento en los últimos 15 años. Dos lesiones se localizaron en el maxilar y dos en la mandíbula. En todos los casos se realizó enucleación y curetaje, incluyendo exodoncia de los dientes afectados, con evolución muy favorable y sin recidivas. Discusión: El manejo puede ser conservador, realizándose enucleación y curetaje con una evolución muy favorable. Se han descrito tasas variables de recurrencia y se ha identificado una variante maligna, por lo que se debe realizar un seguimiento a largo plazo. En la literatura encontramos solo informes de casos únicos, la mayoría de los casos se presentaron en la mandíbula y se sometieron a un tratamiento conservador con resultados favorables. En nuestra serie no observamos recidivas, con buena regeneración ósea y recibiendo tratamiento de ortodoncia posterior.

ABSTRACT Primary intraosseous carcinoma is described as a malignant neoplasm that appears only in the maxillary bones, since it derives from odontogenic epitelial remnants. It is rare, and requires compliance with clinical, radiological and pathological criteria for its diagnosis. The clinical manifestations are non-specific, predominantly pain and swelling, which is why it is usually diagnosed in an advanced stage, and requires radical treatment including surgery and radiotherapy. A case of a 66 year old man diagnosed and treated of a primary intraosseous carcinoma of lower right quadrant at Ramon y Cajal Univeristy Hospital is reported. The complementary test performed and the treatment received, including inmediate reconstruction with a free osteocutaneous fibula flap are presented.

RESUMEN El carcinoma primario intraóseo se describe como una neoplasia maligna que aparece únicamente en los huesos maxilares, pues deriva de los remanentes epiteliales odontogénicos. Es un tumor de muy baja incidencia que requiere el cumplimiento de unos criterios clínicos, radiológicos y anatomopatológicos para su diagnóstico. Las manifestaciones clínicas son inespecíficas, predominantemente dolor y tumefacción, por lo que suele diagnosticarse en estadio avanzado, y requiere un tratamiento radical, incluyendo cirugía y radioterapia. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 66 años con diagnóstico de carcinoma primario intraóseo de cuarto cuadrante, atendido en el Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal, las pruebas complementarias realizadas y el tratamiento recibido incluyendo la reconstrucción primaria con un colgajo osteomiocutáneo libre microvascularizado de peroné.

ABSTRACT: Ameloblastoma is an aggressive odontogenic tumor classified as unicystic, extraosseous / peripheral, and metastasizing. A 42-year-old woman was attended at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service due to a 6-month facial asymmetry. Clinically, we observed a volume increase of the left parotid and submandibular region, bulging of the mandibular bone tables and dental mobility. Computed Tomography revealed a cystic-like lesion in the mandibular region. An incisional biopsy and conservative surgical treatment were performed. The histopathological diagnosis was unicystic ameloblastoma, mural pattern. After six months of decompression, a new incisional biopsy and bone curettage were performed, and Carnoy’s solution was applied. Eleven months after the first intervention, bone apposition was observed in the x-ray. The treatment of these ameloblastomas continues to be controversial, so every case should be approached in a unique manner.

RESUMEN: El ameloblastoma es un tumor odontogénico agresivo que se clasifica en uniquístico, extraóseo/periférico y metastatizante. Una mujer de 42 años acudió al Servicio de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial por aumento de volumen hemifacial izquierdo de 6 meses de evolución. Al examen se observó aumento de volumen de la región parotídea y submandibular izquierda, abombamiento tablas óseas mandibulares y movilidad dental. La tomografía axial computarizada reveló una lesión de aspecto quístico en la región mandibular. Se realizó la biopsia incisional y el tratamiento quirúrgico conservador. El diagnóstico histopatológico fue ameloblastoma uniquístico patrón mural. Luego de seis meses de descompresión, se realizó una nueva biopsia incisional, curetaje óseo y se aplicó solución de Carnoy. Once meses posteriores a la primera intervención, se constató radiográficamente aposición ósea de la lesión. El tratamiento de estos ameloblastomas continúa siendo controversial por lo que cada caso se debe abordar de manera única.

Resumo Introdução O tumor odontogênico adenomatoide é uma neoplasia odontogênica relativamente incomum que representa cerca de 4,7% de todos os tumores odontogênicos. Objetivo Determinar o perfil demográfico e clínico dos tumores odontogênicos adenomatoides em uma população do Sri Lanka. Método Os dados foram obtidos dos casos tratados por 38 anos no Departamento de Patologia Oral da Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Peradeniya. Formulários de solicitação, relatórios de biópsia e o banco de dados eletrônico do departamento foram usados para obter informações relevantes. Dados demográficos, idade, sexo e localização do tumor foram incluídos na análise. Resultados Dos 116 casos de tumor odontogênico adenomatoide, a média de idade foi de 21,02 ± 11,24. Ocorreu com mais frequência na segunda década de vida, e foi mais prevalente no sexo feminino, mais frequentemente associado à maxila, afetou predominantemente os ossos da mandíbula anterior e apresentou-se principalmente no lado direito dos ossos da mandíbula. Os resultados do presente estudo mostraram uma relação estatisticamente significante com o local da ocorrência (maxila/mandíbula) e idade (p < 0,005). Além disso, de acordo com o local de ocorrência, região anterior/média/posterior, também apresentou relação significante com a idade (p ≤ 0,001). Entretanto, nem o lado acometido, direito ou esquerdo, ou o sítio de ocorrência foi estatisticamente significante em relação à idade (p > 0,05). Conclusão O tumor odontogênico adenomatoide ocorre com mais frequência na segunda década de vida, com predominância feminina significativa, e o local mais comum é a maxila anterior. Este estudo revelou poucas diferenças nas apresentações demográficas e clínicas do tumor odontogênico adenomatoide de algumas regiões do mundo.

Abstract Introduction The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a relatively uncommon odontogenic neoplasm representing about 4.7% of all odontogenic tumors. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the demographic and clinical profile of the adenomatoid odontogenic tumors in a Sri Lankan population. Methods Data gathered from the cases received for a period of 38 years from the Department of Oral Pathology, Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Peradeniya. Request forms, biopsy reports and electronic data base of the department were used to obtain relevant information. Demographic data including age, gender and location of the tumor were included in the analysis. Results Out of 116 cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, the mean age was 21.02 ± 11.24. It occurs more fre quently in the second decade of life, more prevalent in females, most often associated with the maxilla, predominantly affecting anterior jaw bones and presenting mostly in the right side of the jaw bone. The results from the present study showed the statistically significant relationship with site of occurrence (maxilla/mandible) and age (p< 0.005). Further, depending on whether it occurs in anterior/mid/posterior site also showed a significant relationship with age (p≤ 0.001). However, side of occurrence, left or right or site of occurrence, showed no statistically significance with age (p> 0.05). Conclusion Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor occurs more frequently in the second decade of life with a significant female predominance and the commonest site is anterior maxilla. This study revealed few differences on demographic and clinical presentations of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor from some regions of the world.
