Abstract

Introduction:
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor since years has been a subject for diligent research by Oral Medicine and Radiologists and Oral Pathologists in the past. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign hamartomatous slow growing neoplasm of epithelial origin composed of odontogenic epithelium in a variety of histoarchitectural patterns, embedded in a mature connective tissue stroma and characterized by slow but progressive growth.
Case Series: Herein, we have discussed a case series of four cases of follicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumors in the maxilla, illustrating the diverse clinical, microscopic and biological features of the tumor. Conclusion: Several updates and data available have grouped adenomatoid odontogenic tumor into different areas of classifications of odontogenic group of tumors. Histological evidences have been put forth by several authors by denoting the histogenesis of each cell type that an inductive influence process does indeed occur in adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. Through this case series we have emphasized the importance of the relation between the dental follicle and the tumor tissue in the origin and histogenesis of this vital odontogenic lesion. | |
