Abstract :

Adenomatoidodontogenic cyst (AOC) is a benign, non–neoplastic and slow growing lesion commonly seen in maxillary anterior region. AOC is characterized histologically by the formation of duct–like structures with amyloid–like deposits. Histogenesis of AOC is still uncertain and it is often considered as a hamartomatous lesion rather than a true neoplasm. AOC has a benign behavior and conservative surgical enucleation or curettage is sufficient. We report a case of AOC in a 19–year–old female managed with surgical enucleation of the lesion.
