Abstract :
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign odontogenic tumor with slow but progressive
growth. The three variants: Follicular, extra follicular (both central type), and peripheral present with
identical histologic findings. This case report describes a patient with a large AOT in the mandible
of the extra follicular type which is the less common of the two central types. It also strikes as an
unusual case as it shows significant root resorption of the involved displaced teeth which is not
generally reported in AOT’s.
